Appleton Estate 8 Year Reserve Rum
Jamaican Rum | 43% ABV (86 Proof) | 750 mL | Jamaica | Aged 8 Years | Estate-Grown & Pot/Column Still Blend

Process & Profile

Appleton Estate 8 Year Reserve Rum is crafted in Jamaica using estate-grown sugarcane and limestone-filtered water. Fermentation and distillation take place entirely on-site, using a combination of traditional copper pot stills and modern column stills to create a layered, complex spirit. The rum is matured for a guaranteed minimum of eight tropical years in American oak barrels—conditions that accelerate aging and produce richer, deeper flavors. Master Blender Joy Spence blends the aged rums to achieve a warm, spicy, fruit-forward profile that reflects Appleton’s signature Jamaican style.
