Appleton Estate Reserve Blend (75cl, 40%)

Appleton Estate Reserve Blend is a Jamaican rum bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle, blending 20 individually aged pot and column still rums with a minimum maturation of eight years. Appleton Estate has operated in Jamaica's Nassau Valley since 1749. The Reserve Blend combines 20 rums distilled in copper pot stills and column stills, with two components from rare reserve stock curated by Master Blender Joy Spence. All water is naturally filtered through Jamaica's limestone bedrock, and the final blend contains no added flavors or colors. The nose shows spiced fruit cake, toffee, allspice, tobacco leaf, banana bread, orange zest, oak and pink pepper. The palate brings brown sugar, vanilla, baking spice, toasted hazelnut, dark chocolate, dried fruits, dried orange peel, oaky honey and caramel. The finish is medium-long and gently warming, with cinnamon, marmalade and soft nutmeg.
