An authentic Jamaican rum made in the Nassau Valley, Appleton Estate rums are produced on the oldest sugar estate and distillery in Jamaica, in continuous production. Having crafted rums for more than 265 years, Appleton Estate also produces one of the few rums in the world to claim a terroir. From the selection of sugarcane varieties grown on the Estate, to the natural culture of yeast used in fermentation; through to the distillation and blending methods, these Jamaican rums are truly unique.
Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12 Year Old, for instance, is an expression of the Master Blender’s craft, using hand-selected golden rums, all aged for a minimum of 12 years – ultimately producing a rum with smooth, robust character. A superlative sipping rum also well-suited to elegant cocktails such as this tropical Mai Tai: an ideal drink to observe National Rum Day on Thursday August 16th.
