The estate is home to the legendary Appleton Distillary, rum makers since 1749. Located in the picturesque Nassau Valley in St. Elizabeth, on Jamaica's South Coast. During the rum tour you will experience first hand, the historic production process of Appleton Estates' Rums. You will be able to see and experience some of the earliest methods of extracting juice from sugarcane, learn about the unique distillation process in our 200 year old pot stills and visit one of our barrel houses where the rums age to perfection. After the rum tour, you will begin to understand why Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum is the finest in the world. « less

My husband and I just returned from Sandals Montego Bay (1-5 May). We chose to go off property since we were there for a short time and wanted to experience Jamaica. We secured our own transportation to Appleton Estates and enjoyed it!! Our tour guide, Sugar, was quite informative and we learned quite a bit about those 40 gallon barrels... More

We purchased the "Triple Threat" tour. It included the Black River which was so boring and not much to look at... To the YS Falls which is not as good as Dunn's River Falls. We didn't do the zipline at the Falls, which we should have spent the extra money and did that also.... Would have made it more fun.... More

The tour of Appleton Estate is educational in how rum is prepared. The tour caters to crowds so it is a bit canned but informative just the same. You will see the raw materials as well as tools for making rum. Included on the tour are a view of the distillery as well as aging barrels. At the end of... More

We visited Appleton Rum Factory as part of the “Black River” trip from Ocho Rios. Having visited many other distilleries etc. over the years, I must say this Factory tour was one of the best. The grounds, and buildings are beautiful and well kept. On arrival, you are taken to the main reception building where you are given a glass... More

Let me start out by saying that I LOVE rum. All types of rum. So a trip to the Appleton Estate was an absolute must and did not disappoint. Our guide, Sugar, was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The tour starts in the grounds to show how rum was originally produced. Then you continue on into the brewing... More

The tour is ok, you learn a lot about rum. The Rum Punch is great. I have done a rum tour before, since rum is distilled the same way everywhere it was nothing new and a bit boring.
