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.

As I've been trying to expand by rum drinking palette from the usual sweeter rums I thought I'd give this a try because of the famous Appleton name and the affordable price point. I have to say that it has been definitely a tough one for my to crack since it has a much harsher aftertaste than what I'm used to. And even though the more I've had it I've started to appreciate its offering I still can't say that I've completely been warmed over by it. That said, I'm not going to give up on trying to expand my palette so I think I might have to go up to the 21 year old since from what I've read that's a little easier and not quite as harsh.
