Appleton Estate 15 Ans

Founded in 1749 in Jamaica's fertile Nassau Valley, Appleton Estate is the island's oldest distillery. Part of the Wray & Nephew group since 1916, it is now the national market leader and a firm favourite with mixologists the world over.
Covering 4,400 hectares, the distillery grows more than 200,000 tonnes of sugar cane a year. Appleton controls all stages of production: in-house yeast, in-house cooperage, and distillation using cold-filtered water. Joy Spence, master blender since 1981, is an emblematic figure on the estate.
Appleton Estate 15 Year Old is a blend of rums aged a minimum of 15 years in Jamaica, distilled in pot stills and columns.

Appearance: Deep copper with golden highlights, reflecting its 15 years of tropical ageing in Jamaica.

Nose: Rich aromas of roasted almonds and hazelnuts, layered with hints of orange peel, vanilla, roasted coffee and molasses.

Palate: A generous attack with flavours of ripe tropical fruits like baked banana and mango, enhanced by warm spices such as cinnamon and clove. The finish is long, with lingering notes of caramel, coffee, and subtle oak.

Food Pairing: Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts or spicy Caribbean dishes.

Serving Temperature: Ideally served at room temperature, between 18 and 22°C, to fully enjoy its aromatic complexity.
