Appleton Rare Casks 12 Years

Ešte neviem, vo vôni lepšie asi ako čokoľvek, ale v chuti celkom silné, stipkavejsie, whiskovejsie, ešte treba dať šancu, olejové silné, dobre, nejaké ovocie na záver marakuja, krémové uhladené, čokoláda, jemne stipnutie, kratší záver , vôňa sladká, estery, karamel, v chuti celkom kompkex

Rund aber flach, bleibt wenig Geschmack hängen. Holz, und Gewürztöne. Gut trinkbar aber Langweilig. Hier hätte ich mehr erwartet und bin von Appelton deutlich eher meinen Geschmack gewöhnt. Keine Fehler aber nichts für mich

Not my favorite, but price performance fully okay. In the finish quite sharp, but you can already tell that it is an honest rum.

8,7:On the nose, we have all Jamaican markers combined with sweetness: ether, glue, vanilla, orange, grapes, plums, mango, banana, passion fruit and walnut. The whole is complex, yet easy to drink. Very tempting... 8,5:On the palate, the attack is supple without being to sweet.Notes from the nose are present, some caramel added. A certain woodiness accompanies vanilla and orange peel. The whole is not devoid of vivacity. 8,4:The fairly long vanilla-dominated finish reveals a touch of cocoa, some black tea.A wisp of caramel bitterness crawls in, now a touch less rounded. Generally well rounded, nose great, as a whole better than 21, more Jamaican, but finish-still very good, not on the nose level.

I have another gift in the form of this bottle. Light aromas of banana, vanilla, barrel, nuts and a subtle taste of Jamaican esters. Silky flavours of vanilla, tropical fruit, cask, light esters and finishes with more dried fruit and caramel. The perfect unpretentious rum for everyone.

Einfach nur wunderbar diese Kombination von leichtem Jamaica Funk auf Basis von klassischen karamelligen, süßen Rum Noten, die den meisten andere Jamaikanern meiner Meinung nach fehlen. Perfekter Einstieg in Jamaika Rum.

Ok a rum that smells better than it tastes.

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

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.

Very tasty and round Appleton. Typical roast aromas and banana / caramel chocolate with a nice wood influence! Something bitter in the finish but top PLV.

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.

I have to say that this rum is beautifully smooth and balanced in taste. There are nutty, vanilla and citrus notes. The citrus is quite acidic and I find that I can also smell sour apple and that doesn't really suit me.

I would love to have the other 12-year expression in hand to try side by side. I couldn't detect much difference from what I remember and perceived. It's still very pleasant and easy to drink. Interestingly, I noticed an aftertaste that somehow resembles sugarcane juice rum.
