Appleton Rum Tasting Experience At Good Hope Estate

OVERVIEW

Sample a selection of premium Jamaican rum at Good Hope Estate, an elegantly restored 18th-century sugar plantation whose lush grounds cover thousands of acres. On the leisurely drive to the inland estate, you will gain an appreciation for the surrounding Cockpit Country, a gorgeous landscape named in the 1700s for its exceptionally steep hills and valleys that supposedly resemble a man-of-war’s tight cockpit. While touring Good Hope, part of which borders the Martha Brae River, you will see where sugar was once processed from the cane. The highlight will be a tasting of Appleton Rum, a distilled spirit made nearby with rich molasses, sugar cane juice and limestone-filtered water. These blended rums are recognized for their notes of vanilla, coffee, cocoa and hazelnut. As you will discover during the sampling, the 12-year-old rum is a fine example. Later, you will be free to explore the estate further on your own.
