Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

Я не понимаю откуда такой рейтинг у этого рома. Возможно мне попался контрафакт. Но это хуже чем какой-то дешманский бакарди

Solid rum and great value at 25 EUR in Germany
Sure it is oaky - bourbon barrel - heavy on vanilla and caramel
But you've gotta lov it

This is one of my go to rums in a mai tai. An excellent, funky, tasty jamaican rum!

Good rum, typical Jamaican
Just a bit better quality. Not bad for sipping. Mild cigar matches this one well.

Dobre, dobre estrewo. Ładne aromaty. 8!

This rum is incredibly smooth for the price range. Fantastic flavor, a little less nuance that Real McCoy 12 year, but significantly less bite. This can be a sipper which is rare for a $40 dollar rum, but isn't as full as something more expensive.

Every time I enjoy this, I can hear Joy Spence with that wonderful patois accent saying, "No added shu-gah!".

What a delightful creation. One of the few I enjoy neat.

Nose - Apricot, Oak, Molasses
Palate - Spice, Vanilla, Caramel, Orange

Long, outstanding finish.

This is a standard of excellence, top to bottom.

With the manipulations of some other heralded brands, I understand why a master artist like Ms. Spence could be vexed at uninformed comparisons.

As the title says, this was the rum I was drinking the night I lost my virginity.

Can’t say it was the most incredible experience and I think due to that I don’t look to fondly on this rum.

In my opinion, you don’t really age rum — it gets spoiled.

Whisky needs it, but you can over-age that too, and take out the character. I think people are only aging rum these days to appeal to Scotch drinkers who don’t know better. You end up with a bland, syruppy thing on your hands.

That said, Appleton 12-yo is pretty good, but suffers somewhat from the above defects.

As to why anyone would buy their 30-yo — some people have more money than sense!

Good as a mixer not sure of all the hype . Not sweet at all with an acid burn . Will be serving this on mixed .
