The history of Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum began over 270 years ago in a unique, mystical place known as the Nassau Valley. This area is characterised by a rare karst landscape featuring cone-shaped limestone formations, caves and underground springs. This distinctive terrain acts as a natural filter for rainwater, producing crystal-clear water and lending the sugar cane plants in this valley region a unique flavour profile.

Appleton Estate is deeply rooted in Jamaican tradition, with the distinctive spirit of the people not only shaping the rum but, above all, defining the company’s identity. For this reason, the Appleton Estate logo consists of a combination of five iconic Jamaican symbols that tell a story of passion, dedication and a zest for life.

Appleton Estate Kingston 62 Gold Rum is a Jamaican blended rum made from pot-still and column-still rums. The rum’s bottle celebrates Jamaican independence in 1962 and is a source of pride for the people of the Caribbean island. In the past, Kingston 62 Jamaica Gold Rum was simply known as ‘Appleton Special’, though this in no way detracts from its outstanding quality to this day.
