Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks Rum

Savoured many times in Montego Bay and Ochi over the years. Splendid experience every time, wait until you try the older, more mature varieties..

Well worth the money,is a very rounded drink but has to be drunk on its own do not even contemplate a mixer!!!!

Balanced, easy drinking without being lightweight, round, dangerously moreish. It’s almost 40 quid and it’s cheap!

I have been a great fan of the 12 Year Old Rare Blends, considering it to be a good alternative to the 21 Year old at 20-25% of the cost. (I've not tasted the 25 year old or the Joy Spence special edition, unfortunately).
I bought a couple of bottles of this and while it is certainly a good offering from Appletons, to me it doesn't taste the same, maybe more oak and not quite as smooth. Fortunately I still have a bottle of the Rare Blends. It gets 4 stars from me simply because I prefer the earlier bottling.

Delicate and smooth but rich in flavours to the point it can be enjoyed on its own as you would a single malt. Very tasty.

Absolutely amazing on its own or with coke on lots of ice. I also use this in sponge cakes. You may think it's too expensive for that but - believe me - it makes all the difference and adds that subtle hint of almonds that cheaper rums simply cannot match.
