A limited-edition rum for the festive season

Appleton Estate has released a limited-edition Spanish Sherry Cask, a new expression that combines Oloroso Sherry Casks with Jamaican rum. It is designed for rum fans, dark spirit enthusiasts, and daring drinkers. With layers of dried fruit, honey, vanilla, citrus, and a smooth, dry finish enhanced by toasted nuts and tobacco, the result is a rich yet approachable character.

The Spanish Sherry Cask is ideal for sipping neat, upgrading cocktails, or giving as a holiday gift.
