About this rum
Appleton Estate - 8 yrs
Appleton Estate 8 Year is a dark Jamaican rum, bottled at 43% abv. It is made by Appleton Estate in Jamaica, and it carries its eight years with an easy confidence.
The colour is a honeyed bronze. The nose is layered: spiced fruit and oak first, then honey, vanilla and warm holiday spice, with a clear thread of orange peel running through. The palate is smooth and balanced. The finish is warm, with molasses and oak.
Master Blender Joy Spence is responsible for the blend, and the rum is made with Jamaican limestone-filtered water. Careful ageing and a deft touch of oak give a rum that speaks of authentic Jamaican heritage.
It also anchors the Appleton Estate Aged Eight Sour, where its spice and oak give the drink real character.
