Appleton Estate rum prices

[jar77]

Any idea on price and place to purchase a bottle of 12 year, 21 year or since I'm turning 40 the 30 year appletons in or around negril? Nothing says happy birthday like a $400 bottle of rum right?

At Duty Free in the airport 12 year is $19 and change, an unbelievable bargain. It's a great straight drinking rum. 21 year is $110. It is excellent and oaky. You can't let anything sit in an oak barrel for 21 years and not have it taste of oak. Not dissimilar to a 18 or 21 year Scotch or Irish Whiskey to be honest without the earthiness of peat or grain. A real sipper, tiny little mouthfuls that warm your entire body and leave an aftertaste of oak that doesn't go away until you eat or drink something else. I've never splurged for the 30, would love a taste someday! Hope you can find them in Negril for something close to those prices.

Not in negril but one week from today I will be walking in the Hilo to get a bottle of appletons. Is that $27 for the 12 year?

[Luvsdaislands]

Yes for the 750ml of the 12 year.

You the best 12 year at the Hilo. 21 year at the airport to go.

Jar - If you haven't gone yet why not stop at duty free on your way TO Negril? I'm pretty sure you can do that.

I can't remember what I paid, but in February, I compared prices for the Appleton's 12 between HiLo and one of the duty free shops inside the Sunshine Village plaza ... and it was considerably less expensive at the duty free store. I can't remember the name of the shop, but when you go into the Plaza from the entrance near the ATM, turn right (North-ish) and it's the shop with a very smiley and friendly fellow. Ask around at the duty frees ... you'll find the best price.
