98 points “Sweetgrass and notes of leather waft up from this beautifully aged rum. In the mouth white pepper dustiness punctuates creamy papaya while the luscious molasses in the background steadily takes over the long and enjoyable finish.” – Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2019
97 points “Deep amber in the glass this sipping rum offers tones of fudge and hazelnut on the nose. The super-soft palate brings flavours of brown sugar and toffee accented with orange peel and clove winding into an extraordinarily long exhale tinged with espresso dusty cocoa and allspice.” – Wine Enthusiast
We find it pretty difficult not to hum Funky Nassau by The Beginning of the End while sipping this. We know that the 1970’s classic was written about Nassau in the Bahamas and not the lush Nassau Valley in Jamaica but the funk of the rum and the funk of the song is a cracking Caribbean combination.
Jamaica’s Nassau Valley has a unique limestone terrain that filters the rain into the crystal-clear water used to make Appleton Estate and also gives rise to the extraordinary flavour of the local sugar cane. The 21 Year Old Nassau Valley Casks is made in this fertile land’s honour using a blend of rare hand-selected pot and column still rums that have been aged for more than two decades in the tropical climate of Jamaica. Rich smooth and unmistakably funky this exceptional rum pours a dark mahogany with a ring of olive green. Somehow it seems to be imbued with the lushness of the rainforest plus notes of exotic flowers fermenting tropical fruit roasted nuts vanilla fudge vintage marmalade freshly ground coffee creamy cocoa nutmeg and brown sugar. One of the world’s finest rums as proven by those enormous scores from the critics.
Renowned around the world for producing wonderfully rich aromatic and flavourful rums Appleton Estate also has the distinct honour of being Jamaica’s oldest sugar estate and distillery in continuous production.
