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.

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.
