Production of the Appleton 8 Years Old Reserve Blend

The production of the 8 Years Old Reserve Blend is a craftsmanship that requires exceptional raw materials and masterful artistry. Initially, high-quality sugarcane juice is selected, forming the foundation of this fine blend. This juice is carefully processed into the region's typical rum. A mixture of different rum varieties, which mature in barrels for at least eight years, ensures the unique complexity.

The fermentation is carried out with the help of special yeast strains that provide full aroma. Subsequently, the distillation process takes place in traditional copper pot stills. These stills are crucial because they give the rum its characteristic flavor. After distillation, the rum is aged in oak barrels that previously contained brandy, bourbon, or sherry to incorporate additional flavors and enhance the depth of taste.

The combination of these carefully selected processes and high-quality ingredients results in a final product that stands out in its class and offers an unmistakable drinking experience.
