Product description
Appleton Estate is the oldest and most renowned sugar cane plantation in Jamaica.
Its history dates back to 1655, when the land was granted to Frances Dickinson for his contribution to the conquest of Jamaica. The estate, along with the plantation and rum distillery, passed into the hands of J. Wray & Nephew Ltd. in the early 20th century. In the case of rums from the Appleton Estate, distilled primarily in traditional copper stills, the same rules for indicating the age of the drink were adopted as in the case of Scotch whisky - the age of the youngest ingredient in the blend appears on the label. The rum matures there in oak barrels after American bourbon.
Appleton Estate 15yo Black River Casks is a blend of rums distilled in pot stills and column stills, matured in the tropical climate of Jamaica in American bourbon oak barrels for a minimum of 15 years. Black River is the name of the river that flows through the Appleton estate, providing water for the Appleton rum distillery.
