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.

This is a very nice rum, well balanced, not too much funk and it caught my interest for Appleton rums!

This is a great rum if you like yours on the not sweet side. Good for sipping or mixing with coke.

This 12 year expression much more elegant than reserve and also need 15-20 mins to breath in a glass. Some rubber/resin still there but it's become more pleasant

Good rum for semi-regular enjoiment. Taste is quite complex, but also bit hars for the age. It is no longer easily available for me, so my last tasting was some time ago (5 - 10 years) and product may have changed. I wish it would still be more easily available as the taste, noise and price was quite nice package. As far as i know the rum used to be quite natural (no added sugar or flavors).

Ritter Sport Run raisin on the nose - not surprisingly, as that is made with Jamaican rum. But it does indicate chocolate and raisin notes. In time, vanilla also appears in the smell.
On the palate those notes reoccur, but bolstered by just a bit of that Jamaican funk. Maybe orange peel as well? Actually seems a bit sweet to me for a Jamaican rum, but I quite enjoy it.
Enjoyable smooth rum. Most enjoyable neat, up or rocks.

Interesting Rum at the price but it tastes alcohool too much for my taste
Rich and sweet and lightly fruity feel which goes down very well. Rich gold colour leaves you desiring more.

I compared this back to back with Appleton Signature, and this is a much more refined rum. Notes of caramel and wood on the nose, but not as much funk as other Jamacian rum. These notes carry through to it's taste. It does still have a bit of a bite for a sipping rum.

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.
