Distiller Notes
This limited edition 30 year old rum from the world famous Appleton Estate in Jamaica, is a very rare blend made up of several marks of rum that were hand selected by our Master Blender more than 30 years ago. These marks were individually aged 8 years then blended together and placed again in oak barrels where they rested for a further 22 years. The result of this unique dual ageing process is a rum that is unmatched in taste, character and smoothness. It is the ultimate journey of discovery of the finest rum in the world. Only 1,440 bottles of this very rare 30 Year Old Rum was handcrafted by the Master Blender of the Appleton Estate and released in 2008.
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
