had this rum recently
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.

This is probably not fair but I take Appleton rums for granted because of their mass market appeal. Twelve year is very smooth and is a big mistake wasting it as mixer. Your bar needs a spot for this one.

Voici un rhum qui en matière d'arômes est assez riche.
Premières impressions, au nez, il est puissant et boisé avec des notes plus douces de vanille. En bouche, on retrouve ce côté vanille-boisé et des notes de café. La finale est assez longue et intense.
Un rhum vraiment intéressant. A goûter !!

I like rich and dark profile of it. Woody tanins brown sugar. It is not sweet. Rum is better on nose than in mouth.

The best with cola, the aftertaste is great !
Well priced, I want another bottle :)
used a lot for lots of cocktails a good taste and good spice taste
Easy to tell this is a well blended rum but I'm guessing it's aged in bourbon casks and had taken on to many of the bourbon flavour for my personal tastes

A very well balanced genuine 12 year rum , heaps of flavour and very smooth with a good amount of oommph !! This is very good value for money and is a great rum for mixing as well as straight or on the rocks.I also have a bottle of the master blenders legacy but cant bring myself to open it as now quite rare !!

I always like the smell of appleton estate. Its smokey with a hint of vanila and oak cask with some sweetness in it, very unique smell. Honestly if you want a smell thats very similar go cut a 2x4 on a table saw and that is almost the smell of appleton 12. In the glass though it has a very harsh alcohol smell with some cask in it. Drinking it straight is a bad idea, its very harsh up front. Strong tastes of vanilla, oak cask and with some dryness. In diet coke it makes a nice R&C its flavor holds true with some sweetness and bitter aftertaste. Strong kick of oak cask, vanilla and some caramel. Simple rum but very good in d rum and coke, straight not so much however still decent.

Good straight out of the bottle. Sipper through and through. Light up a nice cigar and enjoy a session drink with this stuff.

It’s been years since I had this. Went to Mexico and came back with a bottle. Need to try a couple of other Appleton creations.
