Appleton Estate 12 Year Old
(0.7l, 43%)
Jamaica's Finest.
The Appleton Estate's first known documentation of Rum production dates back to 1749, however, the origins of the Estate date back even further, to 1655 when the British captured Jamaica from the Spaniards. It's located in Nassau Valley, part of Jamaica’s World famous Cockpit Country, which is a special limestone formation known as a Cockpit Karst, and was formed over millions of years. Their Rums have a special and unique Terroir – rich and fertile.
Described as the best Jamaican Rum by more than one legendary spirits writers, this Appleton Estate 12 is a blend of Rums aged between 12 and 18 years to create a well balanced Rum and thoroughly enjoyable, not to mention highly drinkable! Might as well order your second bottle now too... you won't regret it.

Matthew,
About as good as Rum gets. Strong notes of oak make the rum almost have a whiskey like finish
Antti,
It is a very good, rich, aged rum with a rich birth; while a a thick & creamy life; that leads to a long & dry death with notes of oak, orange & nutmeg.
Dustin,
Go to rum for sipping
Michael,
I struggled with this when I first tasted it. Not great neat. Not great with a splash of water. But, when I poured some over a large ice cube and let it chill, damn, that's good. There's a lot going on here. Banana on the nose with a sweet and spicy mouthfeel. There's a lot of flavor. I think I'm gonna enjoy this bottle.
Michael,
Even better in a Rum Old-Fashioned with a teaspoon of Demerara syrup, orange bitters and an orange peel. Enjoy!!
Kristopher,
Love the vanilla!
