Jamaica The Legacy Brands First of all, many thanks again to TheDunderHut for this compilation of old historic rums that 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. The Legacy Brands @Artur: Lots of molasses, coffee, caramel, light fruits, minimal ester.

Jamaica Legacy Brands. Cheers to Artur for curating this historical set! Nose is rather nice, dominated by caramel with some sweetness and a hint of dried fruits. On the palate the start is quite balanced. Towards the finish it turns up the dark notes heavily, however. Lots of burnt sugar, instant coffee and dry wood. The finish somewhat destroyed the positive beginning.

Avg Rating 8.0/10 91 Rums

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.
