Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year rum

Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

Jamaica | Aged | 43% ABV

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.

It's a nice rum if your are in the mood of not a sweat rum but an honest oak tasting rum.

I was given a bottle as a gift and I did enjoy it enough to purchase one more. But I found I do not enjoy it enough for the little extra cost.

Nose: Quite soft. Light toffee that acts as a harbinger for a more distinct yet still soft acetone. The funk easily gives way to strawberry skins, dried mango, and baked bananas - interlaced by brief hints of earthiness. Mint chocolate. Turmeric and cardamom show up near the end.

Palate: Still delicate, beginning with honey and cacao. Dried figs leads a transition to coconut husk and chocolate rocks before a more refreshing layer of ginger ale and the strawberries and mangos from the nose. Bubbly mouthfeel with a medium body.

Finish: A very pleasant burst of singed wood, dark chocolate, and dried blueberries. The finish rarely surprises me, yet this one does.

It’s a beautiful blend of rums. Clearly not an everyday rum.

While I recognize this is a solid run, I don’t care for the flavor profile. It’s a little chemically or medicinal finish to me. It may be the Jamaican style I don’t care for. It reminds me a little of the way a peaty scotch finished. I prefer bourbon and American / Canadian whiskey to peaty scotch, so that probably explains it. It’s not the age either I don’t think since I prefer the El Dorado 12 to the 15 or 21.

Мягкий, но не очень приятный вкус. Запах хорош. Я его точно больше не куплю

Аромат
Сразу бросаются яркие ароматы эстеров, животные жиры и щетина, кокос, никаких ацетоновых тонов, жженая карамель, мокрый картон, очень сложный, газонная трава, тростник, камыш (в общем, много травянистых тонов), землистый, ваниль.
Вкус
Сладко-кисло-горький, продолжение носа, такой же сложный и насыщенный, сладость 7 из 10, такая же щетина, можно добавить клубничное варенье, специи, кокос.
Послевкусие
Кокос, древесное, деликатная горечь и лимонад колокольчик.
Итого
Как бы не критиковали его за сухость, но тут сухость вполне сбалансирована со сладостью. А сладости не так и мало. Отличный и уже довольно сложный ром за свои деньги. К тому же, открытая бутылка продолжает дышать, развиваться и улучшаться со временем.
