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 good rum to start someone on if they are not sure if they want to start a rum collection and have a limited budget.

This rum has a strong rating reputation but I didn't enjoy it as much as other reviewers. I think that I will give the maker another chance and try a more pricy aged longer version before I give my final judgment.
Be cool,

Ce rhum Jamaïcain est fidèle à la tradition des rhums de "tradition anglaise", finement boisé, avec des notes de vanille, de fruits secs, de tabac et d'écorce d'orange, le nez est extrêmement agréable et en bouche c'est très gourmand avec la sucrosité d'un El dorado mais dans une moindre mesure. Parfaitement équilibré, on y revient jusqu'à plus soif !

Appleton 12 years was too bitter for me. Ill retry soon.
Edit: second try: Awesome. I'm sold. The complexity of app's nose and taste is overwhelming: oak, plum, burned sugar, vanilla, a hint of leather - the bitterness appears if you don 't let it rest in its glass for 10 mins before the First sip. ..

A fine Jamaican rum with great legs and cocoa notes that are great for sipping.

The flavor is complex and tasty. It might taste richer if the spirits weren't so strong. As a sipper, it's no good. But in mixed drinks, the flavor shine through more.

Typisch Jamaika, typisch Appleton.
Leckerer Rum mit schöner satter Bernsteinfarbe.
In der Nase einladende Vanille und Karamellnoten.
Im Gaumen gesellen sich süsse Früchte, Holz und eine gewisse Schärfe dazu.
Im Abgang auch sehr lecker.
Typical Jamaica, typical Appleton.
Delicious rum with a beautiful amber color.
In the nose inviting vanilla and caramel notes.
In the palate, sweet fruits, wood, and a certain sharpness are added.
In the finish also very delicious.
