Choose Appleton Estate Rum
From the British Royal Navy to swash-buckling buccaneers, rum was a favorite on the high seas since the motion of the waves improved the flavor of the rum aging in oak barrels, unlike the effect it had on brandy and wine. The initial production of rum came during the 1600s on Barbados sugarcane plantations.
Rum is made from sugarcane or its by-products like molasses, and the drink’s taste comes from these raw ingredients in combination with distillation and the aging process.
The second oldest rum maker in the world is Jamaica’s Appleton Estate. Since 1749, this company has continuously produced premium-quality rum and grows sugarcane on over 11,000 acres on the island of Jamaica.
