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.

A bit of citrus, a bit of molasses, strong oak notes with just a slight hint of Jamaican funk. A classic rum that is both a delicious sipper as well as outstanding, albeit more expensive, "dark Jamaican" mixer. If used as a mixer, it will certainly elevate any cocktail or tiki drink that calls for it.
Nice aged Jamaican goes will with most anything. Rich and smooth, but it’s funk is toned down somewhat; it’s dry with a slight burn.
I'm not huge on sippin, but this is super smooth and well balanced. Caramel rich throughout.
Inte så söt rom, ganska mycket fatsmak vilket gör den som perfekt ingrediens till en old fashioned!
I've tasted this back to back with El Dorado's 12 and 15 to compare. I slightly preferred this one over the other two. I just tried to buy another bottle and the webshop sent me the "Rare Blend 12 year" version. They say it's supposed to be the same content in a different bottle... we'll see.
Heel lekkere nippertje met een mooi afgeronde afdronk, wel beetje chemisch in de neus, maar zeker iets voor mensen die doorheen de massa zoeken
Un ron que para ser de 12 años no demuestra una dulzura amaderada, manteniendo su atrevimiento en la fuerza de la juventud que ya no debe mostrar.
Attractive appearance - dark rich coppery/red hue its very nice and does suggest the minimum 12 years aging.
On the nose ... has a firm spicy backbone with a deep dark brown sugar and strong indications of baking spice alongside. Oak tannin and citrus zests arise in the aroma as well as a darker more burnt smell akin to charred coconut and caramelized sugars.
These lighter flavours included a light hint of tangy citrus, a touch of spicy orange peel, a mild walnut and toasted coconut. These milder flavours keep the rum interesting, and I seem to be enjoying this a little more each time I return to the rum.
It's classic fruity Jamaica with more spice, wood and long warm aftertaste. Excellent mixer and nice sipper.
