Product Overview
Appleton Estate's Joy Anniversary Blend is beautifully complex and elegant rum celebrating Joy Spence's 20th Anniversary as Master Blender. This 25-year minimum aged rum opens with a delicate orange peel top note, intertwined with ginger and spice, finishing with aromas of vanilla, butterscotch, coffee and layers of almond.
Joy Spence joined Appleton Estate, the oldest premium Rum maker, back in 1981, and became the world's first female master distiller. When Joy celebrated two decades at Appleton, she decided to create a lavish and rare blend to celebrate the occasion. And she decided to do it guns blazin': with a 25-year-old expression that defies labels and categories. She used two Rum marques that bear special emotional significance. One was laid down to age back in the fateful year when Under Pressure rocked the charts; and the second is her favorite brand. It's an apogee of Joy's spirit of invention and dedication.
Nose: Lovely eruptions of rum raisin with hints of tropical joy with bananas, citrus and butter.
Taste: A dance of vanilla bean and tropical fruits with rich molasses and allspice.
Finish: Smooth and rich finish with black pepper and oak.
