The story
The earliest documented traces of rum production in the Appleton Estate area date to 1749. The estate developed over the centuries in Nassau Valley, consolidating a tradition of sugar cane cultivation, distillation and aging. In the 20th century Appleton and J. Wray & Nephew had intertwined industrial histories; in recent years the Campari Group has invested in local operations and the global relaunch of the brand (acquisition and development through J. Wray & Nephew Ltd.).
Distillation
Combination of traditional copper pot stills and modern column stills; the two types of distillate are then assembled into balanced blends.
Ageing
Ageing in American white oak (ex-bourbon) casks in a tropical climate; age statements indicate the age of the youngest component present in the blend.
Raw materials
  • molasses (from sugar cane)
  • spring water filtered through limestone (limestone-filtered water)
