Limited edition rum from Appleton Estate

Jamaica-based Appleton Estate has released a limited edition rum to celebrate the 40th anniversary of master blender Joy Spence.

The Ruby Anniversary Edition is a blend of five Jamaican rums which were aged for at last 35 years. The oldest liquid in the blend is 45 years old.

Only 500 bottles of this newly released limited edition rum are available via the Joy Spence Appleton Estate Retail Experience in Jamaica and selected retailers, from January 2022.

Tasting notes of the liquid include aromas of cinnamon and minty orange, leading to flavours of apple, vanilla, butterscotch, coffee and toasted oak on the palate. Molasses and spiced honey appear on the finish.
