Overview
Are you serious about your rum? Just love the stuff and haven't paid much attention to the actual rum-making process? Either way, there's a rum-fuelled adventure happening in Sydney over November and December you should lock into your diary. Fine purveyors and makers of rum for over 265 years, Appleton Estate have launched The Appleton Trail in Sydney, three weekends of rum-tasting, storytelling and celebration of Jamaica's long-loved spirit.
Over three weekends from November 20, Sydneysiders can pull up a pew at Sydney's rum-lovin' bars and taste the gems of the Appleton range, and learn up on the rum-making process and the rich Jamaican culture behind the spirit. The Appleton Trail kicked off with a takeover of the Village Inn, Paddington over the weekend of November 20-21 — and successfully converted everyone in the space to rum-based cocktails. Next up, they're moving to Sweethearts Rooftop Barbecue from November 27-28, with the trail concluding at Taylor's Rooftop in Sydney's CBD on December 4-5.
Each venue will be transformed into a Jamaican oasis with reggae tunes, specially-created rum cocktails, paired with Jamaican food, and hosted by a Jamaican dancer, and you'll be able to try the Appleton Estate Signature Blend – the original Appleton Estate rum — alongside the Reserve Blend, Rare Blend 12 Year Old, 21 Year Old Jamaica Rum and 50 Year Old Jamaica Rum – the world’s oldest barrel-aged rum.
