A completely unique and delicious rum. Appleton Estate is totally uncompromising in the production of their "Rare Blend". In fact, the rum is blended from casks that have aged a minimum of 12 years. Nothing with an average, they go after creating the perfect "sipping" rum.
When you enjoy it, you get a constant and developing taste experience. You will find oak, fruit and cacao followed by delicate sweetness, delicious orange peel, rich vanilla, coffee and not least hints of oak and almond.
Truly one of the few rums in the world that can highlight "terroir", including unique weather and growing conditions for sugar cane, as a major reason for the unique quality.
Appleton Estate is located in the Nassau Valley and has its origins as far back as 1655, when Sir Francis Dickenson founded the farm. The first production of rum can be documented back to 1749, and is thus the oldest distillery in Jamaica with continuous production of rum.
The rum is produced at a very high level of craftsmanship. Every step of the production is monitored – from the selection of sugar cane, the use of natural yeast in the process to aging in barrels and the final blending by the Master Blender.
In addition to sipping with rum for a unique enjoyment, it is nothing less than perfect in an Old Fashioned cocktail. Should be experienced!
