About this rum
Appleton Estate - 12 yrs - Rare Blend
Appleton Estate makes this 12-year-old Rare Blend in Jamaica. It is a dark rum bottled at 43% ABV, built to be sipped but equally at home behind the bar.
The character is sweet and smooth. It is a rum that sips easily, with a softly sweet profile that suits drinking on its own.
Appleton Estate is the producer, and this is a blend, so the aim is a rounded profile rather than one sharp, dominant note. The dark style points to depth and weight over lightness.
Serve it neat, or over ice. The signature serve is the Appleton Estate Gold Fashioned, where the rum's sweetness and smooth texture carry the drink. It also lends itself very well to other quality cocktails.
