“Bought a bottle back from Jamaica and hadn’t opened it for a couple of years. Wow I regretted that on my first sip, stunning drink, neat over ice that was so smooth. ”

Warren Bennett

Description

Previously known as Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Blend, this expression from the extraordinary Jamaican rum range is truly fantastic stuff. Matured for at least a dozen years in oak casks, this expression displays a marvellous flavour profile of ripe fruit, rich chocolate, molasses and more.

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

It’s a conversation stopper, you’ll stop chatting and take a moment to just enjoy it.

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

It's good, but it's different!

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.

Smooth but rich in flavour

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.

Superb

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.
