Appleton Estate

The Appleton Estate is the oldest sugar estate and distillery on the beautiful island of Jamaica, located in the unique Nassau Valley. The facility has been operational since roughly 1749 and is believed to have been founded by Frances Dickinson - rewarded with an allotment of land for his service to the British government in 1655. The estate and distillery stayed within the Dickinson family until it was sold and then re-sold a total of 5 times. The facility and brand operated under the proprietorship of Wray & Nephew in 1916 until a majority of Wray & Nephew's parent company was purchased by Gruppo Campari in 2012. With the guidance of the first female Rum Master Distiller and Blender Joy Spence, this renowned brand has become a world leader in offering pristinely crafted and carefully matured rum. Appleton Estate features varieties, including oak-aged rum barrelled for over 50 years; an exceptionally limited 800-bottle selection crafted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's independence. Upholding a lineage of excellence spanning 200 years, Appleton Estate continues its legacy of innovation and quality while providing award-winning rums to enthusiasts throughout the world.
