"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." - 7.0/10

"Really solid Jamaican. For me, however, more of a mixer. 74/100" - 7.4/10

"Let it be said up front, I am an Appleton fan.Nice flavor profile. Dried fruit, banana, perfect wood ripeness, spice and at the end the potstill portion with solvent. Complex.Also has something fresh like an Agricole.The 43% limit the potential, if you want more, you should reach for the 2003, this resembles it the most.At 25€ a bargain and a Gästerum, for which you do not have to be embarrassed and to which I myself like to reach.😉 Super in the Daiquiri.🍸The bottle is also really nice." - 8.0/10

"I have old bottle of AE12 that I want to compare side by side but it seems either same or very similar. The smell and taste of this rum is a synonym of word rum. If somebody utters word rum, this is the taste and smell I immediately recollect. There is supposedly certain amount of esters but it is very low and hidden behind a sophisticated smell and taste. In both 👅 and 👃 you get wood, vanilla, cocoa, raisins, sour fruit like lemon or green apple, nicely balanced sweetness with spicy notes of pepper. This is simply one of my most favorite rums out there, especially for a fabulous price. 18.3.2023 I need to remedy a bad riise taste so I had fo reach out for verified good rum. 28.5.24: Pulling a 0.2 down to align with new rums that I tried and find better or on the same level." - 7.6/10
