Appleton White Old Version Jamaica Rum 76 cl 40%

In recent years Appleton has renamed its clear rum to Kingston 62 in certain markets, but this Old Version keeps the original name and recipe that many collectors still seek out.

Expert Description

Appleton White Old Version is a Jamaica Rum, bottled at 40%.

The rum is produced at Appleton Estate in the Nassau Valley of Jamaica, where the distillery has made rum since 1749. Appleton White was for many years the house's clear, unfiltered rum, but has since been rebranded to Kingston 62 in several markets with no changes to the recipe itself. This Old Version is bottled in the original 76 cl bottle under the classic Appleton White name, making it a piece of the brand's history for those who know the difference.

The result is a light, clean rum, where sugarcane and citrus meet a fresh, dry finish.
