Appleton Estate
|
|
Distilled in : Jamaica Slogan : "The Exceptional Spirit"
|
Origin : With a history dating back to the capture of the Spanish island of Jamaica by the British in 1655, Appleton Estate rum has been produced from the locally grown sugar cane of the 11,000 acre estate in the Nassau Valley for over 260 years.
|
It is believed that the lands of the Appleton Estate were given to Frances Dickinson, as reward for his services in the British conquest of Jamaica. His grandsons were the easliest known owners of the Appleton Estate and the earliest documentated rum production dates back to 1749.
|
After changing hands in 1845 to William Hill and then later to A McDowell Nathan, the Appleton Estate was eventually acquired by J. Wray and Nephew Ltd, after Nathan's death in the great earthquake of 1907. Since then, Appleton Estate rum has continued in its tradition of hand crafting their uniquely flavoured rum.
|
The Appleton Estate sits atop of a limestone formation known as a Cockpit Karst, that combined along with the weather and soil, have created a unique flavour in the sugar cane and therefore in the quality of the rum. Today Appleton Estate produces several rums with the emphasis on the premium aged rums of 8 years and older.

It brings a smooth and complex taste to all of the classic cocktails (Cuba Libre, Daiquiri, Mai Tai and Mojito) without being too overbearing or distractive from the expected taste.
