"Beautiful wood notes and simply a classic. Of course, no High Ester profile, but Appleton 12 belongs for me in a well-stocked home bar."

"Three years ago I celebrated him still as a revelation in May Tai and now he gets only 76 😂. In view of the price but in my eyes a must have for the house bar, especially if you still do not have too many Jamaicans at home. Meanwhile in the Mai Tai on my scale also only 2/5 🇯🇲."

"It’s possible to find the Gunpowder Proof in three different blends. The oldest one consists of rum from Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados. After that it came with a blend of Guyana and Trinidad rum. The latest one just consists of different rum from Guyana. The one I review here is the latest one. I think it’s quite complex with a good balance between sweetness and dryness."

"The nose and palate is a little bit weak and the finish is medium long. It isn’t as complex as and can’t really compete with other Bajan rums with similar aging. But the quite low price makes it very price worthy and makes it a very competitive everyday rum."

"Most people wants to find rum with good value for money. Well, here it is. It’s very hard to find anything better for this amount of money. The only one I found is the English Harbour 5yo. It’s a blend of separately aged rums in ex-Bourbon barrels distilled from Coffey and pot stills. After blended it’s aged for six months more in oak vats. The average age of the blend is 5 years. There’s really something special with its flavours and nice afterburn. After what I have heard it’s the most consumed rum in St. Lucia. So it can’t be more karibik. This is a very good everyday rum to a very low price."

Top review from Tim

"Wow, this rum can hold its own with Foursquare's Exceptional Cask Series. Lots of spicy vanilla chocolate with coconut and caramel on the nose, less fruit than some other Foursquare. Strong and spicy hot in the mouth. Coconut, chocolate and spice lingers again in the finish. Fortunately I still got a bottle because this rum is no longer produced and has become rare. Very good price for the quality!"

"A fine rum that is appreciated even with the presence of added sugars (without it surely would have taken more). Rich with well-balanced aromas of spice, wood, leather and cigar. Too bad it is too sweet. An easy and pleasant rum to taste."
