Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

I didn't detect much spice in it, just a lot of dryness.

I also don't understand why a 12 year old rum is packed without a proper cork.
This bottle gut that cheap plastic twist cap.

Not my cup of tea.. erm.. rum.

Appleton's is a good rum, Appleton 12 year is a great rum. Really balanced and smooth. Gee can't wait to try a bottle of 21 year!!

Appleton has great brand recognition and their mid range rums are dependable. Unfortunately, the 12 year is a real let down. Decent flavor, but harsh with too little to finish. Better to go with Doorlys 12 year or even Bacardi 8.

I am still not sure what I think of Appleton Estate rums. Have had most of them in Jamaica but couldn't quite get my finger on it. Definitely worth trying but I need more convincing

Un buen ron para beberse derecho o en las Rocas. Sabor complejo, se pueden reconocer sabores a frutas maduras como platano, poco amaderado.

Fairly good rum but not unless it is on sale, as original price too steep for the quality compared to other available rums.

Drunk this couple of times on hol in jamaica, bit of getting use to but ok with coke.

This product is ok, but it’s not quite what I was expecting. It’s very warm on the finish and a little dry. This is probably due to the strict regulations in Jamaica when it comes to rum.

As the de rigeur standard mixer, AE Reserve is a great starter rum. This is that, but better... we love this bottle to keep around for sipping, mixing, sharing, and just about anything. Incredible taste for the price. What more needs to be said? Super happy with this rum.
