Appleton shortage!

[johng]

I can't speak for any shortages that have occurred at Appleton be it bottles or the Rum itself but I must say that their inconsistent branding efforts in the USA markets are confusing at best. I hardly see any Appleton rum on sale in the New England region of the US. New Hampshire who has a massive duty free / tax free store system has very few Appleton offerings. Over the past 20 years NH had a very large Appleton selection. Appleton Special was always available at around $12 USD for 750ml. It's more prominent offerings were also available at the NH State Stores. No longer!! I'm headed up to NH next week and I'll check again but for whatever reasons Appleton has been dropping the ball....

Appleton Special is now branded as Kingston '62. The new label looks nothing like the old one.
