Bamboo,
Try flying into Kingston sometime. The airport is much easier to navigate and get through and the ride to TB is on the highway until Mandeville so I find it much superior to Sangster. And I like Kingston as a place to visit as well.

Rumghoul,
As far as the Appleton Tour goes I do not know what the current program is but several years ago I was doing some journalism and I met with Joy Spence and one other journalist for an interview at the Estate. She took us for the "Royal Tour" but we got to do the Rum mixing routine which was pretty entertaining. Ultimately either Joy or Appleton decided to offer the "Rum Mixing" as a paid attraction. I have no idea the cost or whether it is still offered or not but Joy is recognized as one of the premier "Master Blender" and likely the first woman at Appleton to have that distinction
