Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

Just about good enough to try neat. Not great but not bad!

Interesting Rum at the price but it tastes alcohool too much for my taste

Rich and sweet and lightly fruity feel which goes down very well. Rich gold colour leaves you desiring more.

I compared this back to back with Appleton Signature, and this is a much more refined rum. Notes of caramel and wood on the nose, but not as much funk as other Jamacian rum. These notes carry through to it's taste. It does still have a bit of a bite for a sipping rum.

Very fine. Good balance. Not too sweet. One of the best i've tested this year

Torr rom med tydliga toner av arrak. Väldigt bra för priset.

Great and a lot of flavours, smooth and funky. Exactly how I like a Jamaican rum! Great for mixing too

Appleton is a very popular brand here in Ontario, Canada and some people hate anything that happens to be popular. Not me; I just want to drink what I like....and I really like this rum. I find it quite versatile if somewhat tricksy.

Nose: plenty oranges and orange zest, cherries, oak, vanilla, tobacco, and a little overripe banana
Palate: drier than you might expect from the aromas, strong oak presence, brown sugar, a bit more orange, bananas
Finish: medium length, molasses, coffee, oak spices (cinnamon, cloves)

This is no one-trick pony.It's complex enough to sip neat, and it works a treat in a rum Old Fashioned.

Ripe fruit, rich chocolate, molasses and more, I also use this in sponge cakes.

Möjligtvis en toppenrom för dem som inte gillar när det blir sött utan vill ha en torr rom. Ingenting för mig alltså.... Jag gillar det sött och gott. Ingen dålig rom men ingen rom jag köper igen när den är slut
