Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12 Year Rum

This one is a fantastic sipper! Highest ratings from me.

Vegetal and alcohol on the nose. Leather up front, long finish that ends up with molasses taffy.

Brown sugar, ripe bananas, cola, and a hint of cocoa on the nose. The entry is smooth and fruit-forward like the signature, but dried fruit this time; prune and caramelized banana. It finishes spicy, with a heavy dose of wood at the end. Fun fact, my mother-in-law finds this indistinguishable from Bacardi Silver. This is why I don't chain smoke.
