Meaning
The famous brand of aged, golden Jamaican rum from the Appleton Estate in St Elizabeth's Nassau Valley — one of the oldest sugar estates and distilleries in the Caribbean. Smoother and more refined than the fierce white overproof, Appleton is the sipping and mixing rum of choice, a source of national pride, and a staple of the rum bar, the party, and the gift for someone travelling abroad.
