Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12 Year Old is a premium Jamaican rum crafted from a blend of pot and column still rums, all aged for a minimum of 12 years in oak barrels. This aging process imparts a rich mahogany hue and a complex flavor profile. The nose reveals aromas of toasted oak, dried fruit, hazelnut, dark cocoa, molasses, orange peel, vanilla, and hints of coffee. On the palate, it offers notes of caramel, coffee, leather, banana, and orange zest, complemented by a punchy spice element of cinnamon and clove. The finish is long and round with a twinge of bitter coffee.
