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 Appleton Estate rums, distilled in traditional copper stills, the same rules for giving 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 21yo Nassau Valley Casks Rum is a limited edition tribute to the Nassau Valley where the Appleton estate and distillery are located. It is a blend of rums distilled in small copper stills, aged in American bourbon barrels for a minimum of 21 years. Its bouquet offers oak accents, a touch of smoke, cane sugar, spices, orange peel, vanilla, coffee, cocoa, as well as some nutty, coconut and citrus notes.
