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.

Daphne
Daphne,
Warm and sweet like toasted marshmallows. Really fantastic as either a sipper or a mixer. Jamaican lemonade with lemonade, ginger ale and this is a perfect summer, beach cocktail.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Takes an otherwise ordinary rum (normal Appleton Estate) and adds a depth of oak and subtlety... But still a little bland
 
Matthew
Matthew,
About as good as Rum gets. Strong notes of oak make the rum almost have a whiskey like finish
 
Antti
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
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
Michael,
Even better in a Rum Old-Fashioned with a teaspoon of Demerara syrup, orange bitters and an orange peel. Enjoy!!
Kristopher
Kristopher,
Love the vanilla!

Jason,
First tine I had this was at a Sandals in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I brought back 6 bottle and I do so every time I go to Jamaica. This is THE rum. It’s outstanding. I prefer to mix it with a splash of pineapple juice, but it’s just as good on the rocks. Bigger flavor profile than other rum I’ve ever had.

Brodie,
First time I tasted it wasn't fan but now the flavor has grown on me it is pretty good.
 
Donielle
Donielle,
Had the pleasure of taking the tour in Jamaica. Like our guide said, the bottle has curves and is sexy, so it doesn't need any Pepsi. Definitely a sipping rum!
 
Derrel
Derrel,
Like it. Not much of a rum drinker but keep it for friends who drink rum.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
I'm not all that interested in rums. Unless it's Appleton Estate and then I'm all over it.

Mark,
Found a glass of this with a large rock quite difficult to finish. Did not enjoy.

Not to sweet, very delicious!

I'll need to revisit. I wasn't loving it. The accolades demand another try or two.
 
Max
Max,
Deep and rich with a notably beautiful aroma. Sometimes I just grab the bottle for a pleasant whiff. If I could change anything, it would be a tiny bit softer.
