Appleton Estate Rum 21 Year Old (700mL)

This is what happens when you treat Jamaican Rum like a fine, single malt Whiskey … and it mighty good, mon!     Appleton Estate sits in the Jamaican “Cockpit Country” of Nassau valley, an amazingly unique area of rain forest with steeply domed hills and narrow valleys filled with some of the finest “terra rosa” soils on the planet.  It is the Napa Valley of Rum … the Champaign region of sugar cane.  If you are a lover of fine Rum, visiting this region is like a Scotch lover hearing distant pipes in the Highlands.      Appleton put this premium location to good use, aging all their Rums in nothing but Number One Select American Oak barrels, and the entire line is watched over by Master Blender Joy Spence, the very first woman appointed to that position … ever … anywhere … and she has game!      The heritage of this terroir of master rum-making goes back to 1655, and Appleton-branded liquid gold has been in constant production here since 1749.  Appleton controls the entire process
