Appleton Estate 12yr old

Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks is a distinguished Jamaican rum made from a blend of pot and column still rums, all aged for a minimum of 12 years in the tropical heat of Jamaica. Crafted by Master Blender Joy Spence, this expression is known for its bold structure, refined complexity, and deep connection to the estate’s terroir. Aged in Number 1 select American oak barrels, it showcases the signature depth and warmth of Appleton’s rums with elevated finesse.

Bouquet
Aromas of toasted oak, orange zest, dried apricot and vanilla leap from the glass, joined by hints of nutmeg, cocoa and a subtle earthy funk—classic Jamaican richness.

Palate
Smooth, structured and layered. Flavours of dark brown sugar, roasted almond, orange peel and baking spice unfold with precision. Notes of toffee, cocoa and dry oak build toward a long, elegant finish with warm spice and lingering fruit.

Food Pairing
Best enjoyed neat or with a single cube of ice. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, grilled pineapple, spiced nuts or rich desserts like sticky date pudding. Also excellent with a premium cigar or as a luxurious base in a Rum Old Fashioned.

Cellaring
Aged to perfection and ready to enjoy now. Will retain its depth and character for years once opened if stored upright in a cool, dark place.

Interesting Fact
Unlike many rums, Appleton Estate guarantees the minimum age of every drop in the bottle—meaning every component has spent at least 12 years in barrel. That’s a rare commitment to quality, especially in tropical ageing conditions where spirits mature faster.
