Appleton Estate Signature (70cl, 40%)

A Jamaican rum from Appleton Estate in the Nassau Valley, blended from pot-still and column-still rums and aged in bourbon casks under tropical conditions. The name refers to the blend style rather than a guaranteed minimum number of years. Dried apricot and fresh peach lead the profile, with molasses and light citrus notes adding depth. The rum is bottled at 40% ABV in a 700 ml bottle. On the nose it is fruit-led, with dried apricot, fresh peach and a hint of molasses. The palate brings mildly sweet fruit, molasses and citrus accents, while the finish is rather short, lightly sweet and carries citrus and nutty notes.
