From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

Appleton Estate is a sugar estate and distillery in Jamaica that has been handcrafting rums

since 1749. They produce a wide variety of aged rums, as well as standard gold and white rums.

Located in the heart of the country's sugar cane belt, it is the oldest sugar estate and distillery

in Jamaica. The Estate's sugar cane is harvested by machine as well as the old-fashioned way-by

men wielding machetes.^[1] The Appleton Estate covers more than 11,000 acres (4,500 ha) of land.

The parent company, J. Wray and Nephew Ltd., also produces the popular Wray & Nephew White

Overproof Rum.

The origins of the Appleton Estate go back to 1655 when the British took control of Jamaica from Spain.
