APPLETON ESTATE 12 Year Old Rare Casks
Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks is a premium aged Jamaican rum crafted in the heart of the Nassau Valley, Jamaica. A true expression of Master Blender Joy Spence’s passion, it is a blend of rare, hand-selected pot still and column still rums, all matured for a minimum of 12 years in the island’s tropical climate using Jamaican limestone-filtered water.
In the glass, this rum shows a deep bronze colour with a honey-gold ring of age and mahogany reflections, mirroring the Jamaican sunlight over the estate. On the nose, layers of toasted oak, dried fruit and hazelnut unfold, followed by dark cocoa, molasses, orange peel, vanilla and hints of coffee. The palate is rich, smooth and complex, with warm oak spice, nutty notes and bittersweet dark chocolate leading into a long, bittersweet and luscious finish.
Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks contains no added flavours and is bottled at 43% ABV, delivering an authentic, characterful Jamaican rum profile that showcases the estate’s heritage dating back to 1749. Recognised on the world stage, it has earned Double Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, underlining its quality and craftsmanship. Appleton Estate+1
