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.

I could take 15 minutes to tell you the story on how it was a pain to get one bottle of Appleton 12 yr through the Pennsylvania Liqour Control Store.
EDIT: revisited this rum again and dropped my rating from 6 to 5. Just a harsh rum that for $4 more I can get outstanding Plantation 20th Anniversary.
Left it sit for a while before sipping and thought it was a little strong and harsh. Dropped half an ice cube in and what a difference. Very nice sipper.
So Appleton 12 is what a rum should be at this age. It tastes almost corporate. There is no surprise but also no let down. It's not impressive but it's not average. It's exactly what you think it should be and not a drop more. Perfect 12 year notes of all your common rum flavors, oak, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, floral, smoke, cherry, orange, burnt sugar etc. It seems like the flavors are all equal which is both impressive and unimpressive in the same moment.
I'd give this an 8.5, it is not a sweet rum but it is complex. Let it breathe and you will notice it is complex drink. This is a dry rum and best appreciated
Sipped slowly doing this you will notice the other flavours, give it time and it will soon become a favourite of yours.
The bottle screw top could be changed to a cork for that cork pop.
Very good condition and must be almost all of the new equipment we have got some of that is stuck in the total Design and build a better time to get a good one he doesn't sit still for sale in the office for a meeting at 8 meters of 4 core ground floor store under offices change to smoke Back office ground floor call point moving
Strong and complex rum.
I like the flavor of this rum. I have received three bottles as gifts from friends.
I am a little surprised that I like this one quite so much as I generally am not a great fan of Jamaican rums due to the iodine notes. However, the oak, fruit (including the iodine) and marry up to really appeal. It grows and grows on me, and has now become one of the rums that is ever present in my cupboard.
As there are some nice tastes in it, I really don't like the harshness as found in Rhum Agricoles, so for me this was kind of a mispurchase.
I'm sure when wiskey-loving friends come over I'll be sure to present this one to them.
L'un des tous premiers rhums que j'ai gouté. Très bon rhum pas trop cher. Goût assez riche ! Très bonne odeur !
I drank this bottle straight up over several days. Quite smooth, not a huge amount going on though. I was expecting a little more but a commendable bottle.

The rum offers a lot of smoky spiced oak flavour.
"A nice note of cocoa and a little hint of vanilla. The rum is smooth yet spicy offering a nice kick. The finish is long and complex leaving a lot of flavour behind to savour."

I really like the way of naming conventions by Appleton! Most of the producers are using just the highest age of their rums, or solera method with highest age, but not Appleton! 12yo is the youngest one ranging from 12-18yo.
Most rum producers also add sugar into their rums to make it more fancy, more stable across batches...not Appleton!
Joy Spence knows the roots of the rums...
I really liked this one as first of Appleton's rums and I am sure I will try/buy also the 21yo (even-though its price tag is quite high).
This one would suite also to whiskey lovers (similar as Pusser's 15yo).
Its price tag is very very interesting! I will get this bottle for sure!
Nose: Full bodied, raising
Taste: its body goes directly into its tail, no such big difference between those two taste-parts. Not sweet, It has the harshness of typical rums. Smoked, oak
Tail: long lasting, the good "alcohol punch"
Bottle: Upper average, the etiquette is nicely made and high-quality (not as Ron Quorhum and other Oliver's..), the only part I dislike is the screw cap.
