Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

As Jamaican rums go, this is a good bet. Good next or as a mixer. Starts off stiff when drunk neat but with nice aromas post first sip. Smoothe with coke and very good with orange juice and lots of crushed ice.

Absolute staple in my rum cabinet. Never go wrong with a glass of this dark beauty

If you are a whiskey drinker then this is the rum for you. Lots of oakey undertones and a smokey strength that comes from blending aged rums that taste older than 12 years. Not to my taste, but I'm not a whiskey drinker so ..............

Expected more, I'd heard this was pretty good. A little harsh for 12 year old and I found it rather bland. Started with pampero however so that may have influenced it. May change rating based on starting with this

I prefer smoother and sweeter rums, so this is just not my style. It's dry, strong, has very specific and long aftertaste (I somehow really feel apples !).

63/100

This is a very nice go to rum for daily sipping. I would not use it as a mixer. Not too sweet and great hints of oak and some classic Jamaican flavors.

Quality, Jamaican Rum. Dry, wood, delicious rum. Makes a great mixer.

Fruity, oaky representation of both pot and column still rums aged from 12-30 years. Master distiller Joy Spence and her protégés have created a nice Jamaican rum to be enjoyed neat or in a cocktail, though I would advise using a cheaper rum for cocktails.

Really smooth... Don't taste sugar/sweet at all. Certaintly a rum for people who loves cognac. Very clean. More an after dinner rum.

Not my style....but good rum and worth to try....rather strong flavor of oak and smoky.
