If we had to define in one word what makes Appleton Estate unique, it would be "karst".
The Appleton Estate Jamica Rum story begins over 270 years ago, in the one-of-a-kind, mystical location known as the Nassau Valley. A karst is a rare landscape made of cone-like limestone hill formations, caves and underground water sources.
According to records, the estate's passion for rum crafting began with the first distillation in 1749.
Nassau Valley's peculiar terrain naturally filters the rain, producing streams of clear azure water giving extraordinary flavour to the local sugar cane growing in the valley.
The blend of Jamica's lush climate, fertile terrain and spring water source create unique conditions that make Appleton Estate one of the few rums in the world with a terroir.
