Appleton Estate Signature Jamaican Rum (175cl, 40%)

A Jamaican rum from Appleton Estate in the Nassau Valley, bottled at 40% ABV in a 1.75L bottle. It is a blend of 15 select pot-still and column-still rums, made with limestone-filtered Jamaican water and the estate's proprietary yeast strain, with no added flavours, then rested in oak barrels to marry the components. The estate has been distilling since 1749. It shows dried orange peel, molasses and a whisper of funk, with vanilla, oak spice and honeyed warmth. It is medium-bodied and smooth, finishing with gentle oak and dried fruit. It is suited to mixing in daiquiris, rum punches and rum and cola.
