Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

Not very Sweet, a good rum with bite at the end. I wanted to try the 21 year old, but only 12 year old was available. Bad luck :-)

Un rom cu o culoare deosebită, aromat servit on the rocks. O aromă lemnoasă un pic prea putrnică

An inviting and very nice dark red copper colour. Nice aroma. Surprisingly smooth for a 12yr old Jamaican one with notes of orange peel, light vanilla, nuts and a little fruitiness. You would still be able to tell it is a Jamaican rum but definitely not as strong as some other high ester Jamaican brands. Full body flavour with some good complexity.

This is becoming fast my go to sipper and expect I’ll will always have a bottle of this in stock.

Works very well in classic cocktails and particularly makes a stonkingly good Rum Old Fashion.

Not every rum has this kind of quality of taste on its own nice aromas of vanilla tho it still have this strong after taste of alcohol. Good with rocks. Advised if you are looking for a good rum but don't want to spend as much.

Drink it how ever you want! This rum delivers the goods and defines how an aged rum should smell, taste and finish. I raise an eyebrow to those who scored this rum with a 6 or lower...

Wouldn't put this on my sipper list however it does lend itself well with lots of ice and with a mixer. My go to rum on a warm evening

Absolutely nothing offensive about this rum - and that's the problem. I've yet to try an Appleton product that has any real funky Jamaican presence. Like other Appletons, this one is not bad, but it's too polite. Much more preferable are the rums bottled by Hamilton, Smith and Cross, Mezan, Wray and Nephew - they all offer that pot-still pungency and room-clearing funk which Jamaican rums are known for. This, on the other hand, is yawn-worthy.

Although they are only 2% but the difference is to know. Very good with orange peel

Jsem zvědavý na ostatní jamajské rumy, ale tohle bylo pro mě jak jinak než překvapení, bohužel naprosto katastrofální. Nejvýraznější složka chuti je hodně originální, hodně odlišná od všeho co jsem zatím měl. A navíc vůně, na tu jsem si nemohl zvyknout. Vůně je sladká, naopak ale rum je suchý. Co mě to připomínalo jen... bude to asi tou kombinací kořeněnosti, dubu a pomerančové kůry... celé je to pro mě velmi podivný rum, ale jsem rád za tu zkušenost.

Are un aftertaste interesant. Se simt arome de citrice si de tabaco. Putin cam spirtos dar nu deranjant. Imi place mirosul, distinct, puternic, parfumat si elegant. Merita incercat cu siguranta.
