Appleton Estate 1962 Jamaica Independence Reserve 50 Year Old
Image
In 1962, just before Jamaica received its independence, several barrels of rum from the Appleton Estate were set aside to age with the edict that these rums were to be used to create a very special blend of 50-year-old rum that would celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic event.
The barrels were placed in a special area in one of Appleton's ageing warehouses were carefully monitored, first by master blender, Owen Tulloch, and then by his protégé and successor, Joy Spence.
