Rum enthusiasts were in high spirits as the Appleton Estate On The Rum Tour pulled in to its latest stop: 105 Water Lane in downtown Kingston on Friday, August 7, as part of Appleton Estate Rum Month. Throughout August, the On The Rum tour invites Jamaicans and visitors alike on an islandwide series of activations encompassing immersive tastings, cocktail experiences, and live entertainment celebrating Jamaica’s rum culture — headlined by the showcasing of the limited-edition Appleton Estate Sherry Cask.
