Appleton Estate 12-Year Rum is a blend of several rums aged between 12 and 18 years in American oak barrels after being distilled using small-batch copper pot stills.
The rum is produced on the Appleton Estate, which sits in the Nassau Valley in Jamaica. The estate’s origins date back as far as 1655 when the English overthrew the Spanish to rule the island and Frances Dickinson, grandfather of the distillery’s founders, received the land as a reward for his role in the overthrow.

Really wanted to try this jamaican rum out and boy... was I surprised. It matures in whisky barrels so I was prepared for a bit sharp taste but was really smooth. Went easy down and I really enjoyed the long aftertaste of dark chocolate. It's not a sweet rum, but is tasty. A great sipper, wouldn't mix it!

Spodziewałem się po Jamajce czegoś bardziej "funky" (estrowego). Nie żeby to był zły rum, po prostu nie urzekł mnie albo za dużo się po nim spodziewałem czytając recenzje.
Jest OK.

This one is their best so far. I really enjoyed the smoothness and taste. Great with a single ice cube. I expected the complexity in flavors of a typical "12-year" rum, but got much more. As the rum first rolls over the taste buds, a rather strong flavor of oak and a bit of smoke dominates the senses. In this, whiskey lovers should feel right at home.

This style of rum is too dry for my pallet to be a sipper. It does however go really well with coke. I do appreciate the presentation. I don’t really care for the 21 year old either. It might just be a style thing.

Full of flavor, not to sweet but leaves a nice aftertaste.
Totally different from the signature blend from the company.
Until know one of the all time favorite.
I do not care for that funkyness it has but paired with a cigar I don't pick up on it anymore. I do like it because of no sugar added.

This is fairly dry but with a wonderfully complex flavor profile. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of the funk /hogo taste that is typical of many Jamaican rums. The Appleton 12 year does have a hint of that, but it is well balanced with other flavors. If you want a similar quality without hogo, I would highly recommend Mount Gay XO.
I had this at the Montego Bay airport in Jamaica mixed with coke. The rum had a nice taste that come through the cola but didn’t over power or burn. Very smooth.

Compared 12 yr vs 21 yr. 12 smelled very alcoholic, almost like gasoline and not very pleasant or refined. The 21 smelled much more complex and delicious. The taste of both of them was very similar, but the 21 was much smoother and refined. Diplomatico exclusiva was still much better than both of these. 12 - 75+. 21 - 85+
