Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks Jamaican Rum 700mL

The proof that craftsmanship and talent need another ingredient to achieve excellence: Joy.

12 Year Old Rare Casks is a true expression of Master Blender Joy Spence’s passion. A blend of rare hand-selected pot and column still rums crafted with limestone-filtered water, all aged for a minimum of 12 years in the tropical climate of Jamaica.

Deep bronze with a honey gold ring of age and mahogany reflections, the 12 Year Old Rare Casks reflects the Jamaican sunlight caressing the Nassau Valley.

Tasting Notes:

Toasted oak, dried fruit, hazelnut, dark cocoa, molasses, orange peel, vanilla and hints of coffee: it takes hundreds of characters to describe these aromas, but only a strong one to gather them all.

"This is a very aromatic rum; a bit of funky molasses, orange peel, caramelized bananas, and loads of brown sugar fill your senses. There's a slightly burnt wood aroma found as well, though this is all pleasurable. Fairly full on your palate, the rum is actually not as sweet as the aroma leads you to believe. The funk is still there joined with barrel spices and coffee with cream. The finish is slightly bitter and burnt." - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller (92 Points)
