Appleton Estate – the taste of Jamaica

Our Wednesday evening saw Team Maketh head up to The Shard, for a rum tasting event with Appleton Estate rum. The key objective of the night:

1) Obviously consume some seriously excellent rum.

2) Break the Internet, with the large trending of #AppletonLive.

Naturally these were all consumed neatly, with the 12 year aged being the one I drew to the most. As a lover of spirits, I definitely recommend that you try a rum neat, in order to get the full scent and flavour of the blend.
