Appleton Estate - 15 Years Black River Casks (750ml)

This was The Whisky Exchange’s (UK largest spirits retailer) Rum of the Year 2023.

This rum is a blend of both column and pot still rums and aged in oak for 15 years. It is a rich, fruity, nutty expression of what Jamaican rum can offer. The flavors of hazelnuts, dark chocolate, orange peel and roasted coffee beans can all be found in this great rum. 

Aromas of toasted almond and hazelnut develop into flavors of orange peel, vanilla, roasted coffee and molasses on the rich and full-bodied palate.

Appleton Estate 15 Year Old Black River Casks is a tribute to the Black River that is integral to Jamaica’s rum history and the source of the limestone-filtered water used to craft our rums.

The rums that make up Black River Casks are hand-selected and crafted with Jamaican limestone-filtered water, with no added flavors, and have all been aged for a minimum of 15 years in the tropical climate of Jamaica.

TOP 100 SPIRITS 2022
Look for a deep amber hue and bold, enticing caramel and coffee bean aromas, plus a hint of red fruit. The velvety palate echoes those notes, adding succulent toffee and hazelnut, leading to a long, complex finish accented by orange peel. Sip or mix this rum, aged 15 years minimum. Kara Newman, 9/1/2022.
