The Appleton plantation already existed in 1655, when the British captured Jamaica from the Spaniards. Since 1749, in addition to the cultivation of sugar cane, also rum is manufactured. This rum is a blend of 15 rums, all aged between 5 and 10 years in ex Jack Daniels barrels. After blending the rum is poured into new barrels and ripens a few months so that the different flavors and aromas merge well.
