Appleton Estate Rum Tour Preview: Donkey Cane Crushers (St. Elizabeth Jamaica)

When you start the tour, you will watch an overview of the Estate and how it is run. Then you will have a tour of the remaining parts of the history of the estate including some old equipment. There are two old sugar cane crushers that are still shown to visitors and a demonstration with a donkey on how they use to operate the cane crushers.

Then you will go on a tour of the distillery to see the famous rum being distilled. Here you will get to taste "wet sugar" (aka molasses) as it is being distilled in giant copper pots.

The next stage of rum production is the aging house. In this part of the tour you will see large white oak barrels ageing various types of rum. The aging process varies from three years up to thirty years. The last stage is the blending. This is where the rums are blended in to the world famous Appleton flavours.

The most popular part is the rum sampling. You have the opportunity to sample 16 varieties produced at the Estate.

There is a gift shop to buy and take Appleton Rum home as well as a bar to have some drinks while you are there.
