Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year rum

Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

Jamaica | Aged | 43% ABV

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.

Een prachtige, rijke rum met een full body die gedistilleerd is uit gegist melasse. Zoals de naam al zegt heeft deze Appleton minimaal 12 jaar gerijpt, het rijpproces wordt voltrokken in gebruikte Jack Daniels Whisky vaten om zo tot een unieke blend te komen.

Eén van de unieke karakteristieken is het complexe, maar tegelijkertijd ook delicate, karakter van karamel, walnoot en eikenhars omringd door een vrij sterk aroma van gedroogd fruit, abrikozen en vanille. De kleur is aangenaam donker, een rijke bruine kleur met rode tinten die nieuwsgierig maakt en geproefd wil worden. Deze rum is lekker zacht en drinkt fijn weg met een lange en milde afdronk.

Rhum ''demi sec'' aux notes boisées très prononcées. Vaut le détour sans aucun doute.

Herkomst: Jamaica
Abv: 43%
Aroma: Eerste indruk is alcohol, erg sterk. Na wat gewacht te hebben komen er tonen van karamel, vanille en citrus in het glas en later nog tabak en hout.
Smaak: karamel, vanille, citrusfruit, alcohol en eikenhout.
Nasmaak: lang, zoetig, bruine suiker en geroosterd brood.

Prima rum voor deze prijs.

I bought some of this in Jamaica. It is a nice tasting rum, either on the rocks or straight up out of the freezer. No harshness, just a nice sweet rum flavour with the nuance of the oak.

Rhum assez sec
Goût de clou de girofle, cannelle, bois d'inde

Chose to try the 12yrs old before the 18yrs and the 21yrs. The ratings are spot on.
It looks great in the bottle, nice aroma and oak taste. Not too sweet, very easy on the palate. Very good after taste.
Very GOOD for the PRICE.....Strongly recommend.

I could take 15 minutes to tell you the story on how it was a pain to get one bottle of Appleton 12 yr through the Pennsylvania Liqour Control Store.
EDIT: revisited this rum again and dropped my rating from 6 to 5. Just a harsh rum that for $4 more I can get outstanding Plantation 20th Anniversary.

Left it sit for a while before sipping and thought it was a little strong and harsh. Dropped half an ice cube in and what a difference. Very nice sipper.

So Appleton 12 is what a rum should be at this age. It tastes almost corporate. There is no surprise but also no let down. It's not impressive but it's not average. It's exactly what you think it should be and not a drop more. Perfect 12 year notes of all your common rum flavors, oak, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, floral, smoke, cherry, orange, burnt sugar etc. It seems like the flavors are all equal which is both impressive and unimpressive in the same moment.
