LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

A masterclass in Jamaican 'funk' made elegant. It retains the ester-heavy soul of its origin but delivers it with a wood-mellowed grace that is simply world-class.

The Library Note

Crafted by Joy Spence, the first female Master Blender in the spirits industry, Appleton Estate has been producing rum since 1749. The 'Rare Casks' expression is a tribute to the estate's terroir, reflecting the limestone-filtered water and lush vegetation of the valley.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Toasted oak, dried fruit, and hazelnut, followed by notes of dark cocoa, vanilla, and orange peel.

THE PALATE

Deep and complex with dominant flavors of orange peel, roasted coffee, and spicy oak, balanced by a hint of molasses.

THE FINISH

Long, bittersweet, and incredibly smooth.
