Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points - Pure amber color. Intriguing, gentle scents include palm oil, oaky resin, nutmeg and almond paste that appear in delicate waves.

Appleton Estate is the oldest and most famous of all of Jamaica`s sugar estates. It is nestled in the fertile Nassau Valley on either side of the Black River in the Southwest of Jamaica. The origins of Appleton Estate date back to 1655 when the English captured Jamaica from the Spaniards. Frances Dickinson, whose grandsons Caleb and Ezekiel were the earliest known owners of the Appleton Estate, took part in that conquest of Jamaica, and it is believed that Appleton Estate was part of the land grant that Dickinson received as reward for his services.
