A blend of rums aged a minimum of 8 years in ex-bourbon barrels in Jamaica's topical climate, Master Blender Joy Spence created this rum to celebrate Appleton's 250 anniversary.
Sampled on 16/02/2023
Clear, deep golden amber.
Honey, toffee, baked banana and spicy oak with desiccated coconut, pineapple and black tea.
Spicy black pepper, ginger and oak tannins hit first followed by mellowing toffee, honey, baked banana and vanilla.
Breakfast tea-like oaky tannins, milk chocolate, black pepper spice and vanilla-infused banana bread.
An assertive backbone of dry toasty oak tannins balances sweet honey, toffee and baked banana to present waves of flavour on the palate. A generously dry rum that's distinguished by those toasty oak tannins.
