Chilongolo’s Appleton Rum Estate Tour (St. Elizabeth):
Go on a journey to the picturesque south coast of Jamaica on a visit to the Appleton Estate, home of the finest rum in the world. Take a tour of the distillery, sit down to taste 10 different rum varieties and bring home a full bottle of rum to enjoy.
Deep in the heart of Jamaica’s lush countryside is the heaven of rum: the Nassau Valley. Here lies the legendary Appleton Estate, where water is filtered by nature’s hand as it percolates for miles through unmapped limestone hills and flows into the Appleton Estate spring. In this warm, verdant setting, Appleton Estate has been perfecting the art of making handcrafted rum for over 260 years.
During the fermentation process, the sugar cane molasses and a special culture of yeast combine with exceptionally soft water, filtered the limestone hills of the Cockpit Country and giving Appleton Estate Jamaican rums their unique character, taste and aroma.
Spend some time learning about the unique fermentation process and sample some freshly pressed cane juice and “wet sugar” before you sit down for the main tour attraction: 10 different types of Jamaica rum liquors to sample from. The kicker is a complimentary bottle of rum for every visitor to take home and enjoy.
