I haven’t tried many on this list but your comments on Appleton 12 hit home. When I decided to pick up a better bottle of rum to sip neat I grabbed a Flor De Cana 12 and an Appleton 12. The FDC didn’t do it for me but the Appleton spoke to me. Easy decision to restock every time I kill a bottle.

Lmao the Rum Fire label never fails to make me laugh. It's one of the biggest, baddest, most serious bottles in the liquor store and yet, here's some graphic we whipped up in photoshop in 10 minutes. Reminds me of the Agni Kai scene from ATLA. It's so bad, it's good again. I hope they never change it. The Neisson ESB bottle is indeed 10/10 aesthetic. The bottle shape is so space efficient! I just finished my ESB bottle and I can't let it go! Although I prefer both the Reserve Speciale for when I want to taste the wood, and the Blanc for when I want to taste the distillate. Rhum Vieux par Neisson from Ed Hamilton has a similar, slightly woodier profile compared to ESB that you may enjoy. The watercolor painting on the Clairin Sajous box is very beautiful! I'd also love a large version of the painting to put on the wall. My experience with Appleton 12 was the exact same. First big splurge, I found it noticeably funky, and it became a cocktail workhorse. I bought a bottle just for making daiquiris and sipping on my honeymoon. Lots of good memories. It's still a very frequent mixer, but now it barely registers on my funk scale.

For me El Dorado 12 year will always be special. It was the first rum I tried neat and thought "that's not bad". I rarely drink it now, and I know they've reformulated since (still great in my opinion) but I feel a connection to where it all began. Ironically, Demerara rums are, on the whole, pretty low rank for me. I just can't stand anything from the wooden stills. It tastes like a cheap blended whiskey.
