A true institution in the field of Jamaican rums, Appleton Estate was born in the oldest sugar cane plantation on the island, and has been producing its prestigious rums since 1749. The plantation is located in the Nassau Valley, in the center of Jamaica, and is it extends for over 4200 hectares at over 400 meters above sea level: an area surrounded by greenery and surrounded by high mountain ranges, which enjoys a unique microclimate, perfect for the optimal growth of sugar cane. Appleton Estate has as its cornerstone the constant pursuit of quality throughout the entire production process. Ten different types of sugarcane are distilled to achieve the right complexity; the yeasts are natural and come from the plantation; the water is taken and filtered directly from the limestone hills of the area. Discontinuous and column stills are used for distillation. Quality is also guaranteed during aging, for which ex-bourbon American oak barrels are used. Furthermore, all aged rums must comply with the 'Minimum Aging' standards. Joy Spence is responsible for blending, the first woman in the world of spirits to hold the role of Master Blender
