This one is better than the regular 12 year old and a very nice surprise. I also like the shape of the bottle. Oak from nose to finish, very fresh with fruits and spices. This is a sipper and not a mixer. Price to quality is very good.

Voraus sei gesagt, ich bin ein Appleton-Fan. Schönes Geschmacksprofil. Getrocknete Früchte, Banane, perfekte Holzreife, Gewürze und am Ende der Potstill-Anteil mit Lösungsmittel. Komplex. Hat auch etwas Frisches wie ein Agricole. Die 43% limitieren das Potential, will man mehr, sollte man zum 2003 greifen, dieser ähnelt ihm am meisten. Um 25€ ein Schnäppchen und ein Gästerum, für den man sich nicht genieren muss und zu dem ich selbst gerne greife.😉 Super im Daiquiri.🍸 Die Flasche ist auch richtig schön.

Even though I usually prefer rums from continental South America, this Jamaican rum is good. There seems to be relatively low sweetness, more spiciness buy still well rounded experience.

Tasting side by side with the 8 year, this is a lot more enjoyable. Almost no alcohol taste. More wood, and a beautiful mouthfeel.

Nicht mein Favorit, aber Preis Leistung voll okay. Im Abgang recht scharf, aber man merkt schon, dass es ein ehrlicher Rum ist.

einfach nur wunderbar diese Kombination von leichten Jamaica Funk mit den klassische karamelligen, süßen Rum Noten, die den meisten andere Jamaikanern fehlen

The nose is quite nutty, almonds mainly. There's also caramel and wood. Not too fruity or funky. Burnt dark sugar dominates the palate but tobacco and oak keep things from being too sweet. The finish is medium to long and has lots of chilled out oak and espresso coffee notes. It's a good rum to relax with. Nothing to shocking but the quality is there.

Nothing to know your socks off, but pretty good. A little heavier on the nose than on the palate. A quintessentially rum profile

I was expecting a little less spice and sweetness and more wooden and smoky taste. You can get little bit of wood and cask upon the first sip and then it hits you with a peppery almost hot kick. Mild finish - a tad dissapointing. Enjoyable.
