Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12 years old Blended Jamaica Rum 70 cl 43%

A step above Signature Blend sits Appleton Estate's Rare Casks range, where 12 years of ageing leave room for a more complex, concentrated Jamaican style.

Expert Description

Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12 Year is a Jamaica Rum blending aged rum from rare casks, bottled at 43%.

The rum is produced at Appleton Estate in the Nassau Valley of Jamaica, where the distillery has made rum since 1749. The Rare Casks range sits above the distillery's accessible Signature Blend and is built on rum aged for 12 years, selected from rarer cask types than those used in the more common releases. The longer ageing and special casks give the rum a deeper, more concentrated Jamaican character, while retaining an approachability that suits it both for sipping neat and in cocktails.

The result is a full-bodied, complex rum, where spice and dried fruit meet a long, warm finish of oak and caramel.
