Jamaica The Legacy Brands First of all, many thanks again to TheDunderHut for this compilation of old historically significant rums, which I probably would never have tried otherwise. Tried and analyzed together with DomM, even though they didn't really blow me away, I'm glad to have had them in the glass.

Jamaica Legacy Brands. Cheers to Artur for curating this historical set! Nose is nicely balanced. I’m getting a fruit basket with some peaches. Sweetness and a hint of wood provide an overall enjoyable and fairly interesting nose. On the palate also nicely balanced with similar notes as on the nose. This one is the first in the line up which makes me think „Jamaica“.

Jamaica. The Legacy Brands @Artur: Unfortunately relatively thin, little flavor, minimal Jamaica hints.

Appleton Estate is the face of Jamaican rum to the world. Distilling in the St. Elizabeth hills since at least 1749, it makes close to a third of all the island's rum and is the only brand in the global top ten with serious pot-still character. Its master blender, Joy Spence, was the first woman to hold that title anywhere in spirits.
