Toast Jamaica’s independence in styleIt’s a good day to be a Jamaican. Not only did Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake pick up a gold and silver respectively in last night’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it 100m sprint, it’s the 50th anniversary of Jamaica’s independence. If that isn’t a reason to crack open the rum, well, quite frankly we’re not cocktail lovers…
Such a special occasion deserves something truly exceptional. We’re thinking the hand-blended, limited-edition Appleton Estate 50 Year Old Jamaica Independence Reserve rum aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 50 years. Only 800 bottles are available and at £3,500 each they’re certainly not cheap. But we reckon half a century of freedom and toasting the two fastest men on the planet certainly warrants such a majestic tipple.
