Appleton Estate 21 Year Old Jamaican Rum, bottled in 2003. Presented in its original semi-case box, exceptionally well-preserved. Bottle number 10035 of only 12,000 produced. Features the original Italian tax seal. Both the bottle and packaging remain in outstanding condition – a rare and highly collectible release. Jamaica is without doubt one of the true rum powerhouses, and Appleton Estate stands as the island’s oldest continuously operating distillery. Since 1997, the role of Master Blender has been held by Joy Spence – the first woman in the world to be appointed to such a prestigious position. Appleton competes for primacy in the segment of the finest traditional rums alongside Demerara Distillers. The distillery has been producing rum in Nassau Valley since 1749, making it one of the oldest still-active rum producers in the world. This expression is a blend of carefully selected rums with a minimum age of 21 years, coming together to create something truly exceptional. It is robust, yet incredibly smooth, with layers of citrus, spice, oak, nutmeg, almonds, coffee, and cocoa. The finish is long and satisfyingly dry. This is a collector's item in collector’s condition. Shipping only to EU countries and GB.
