APPLETON ESTATE RARE BLEND 700ML

Rich, luminous mahogany with honey tints. Elegant and creamy, with strong notes of vanilla that overlap a rich dark fruit medley, along with butterscotch, cinnamon and a dash of black pepper. Mouth-filling spice, vanilla, caramel and fruit flavours, with a touch of mint. The finish is long, smooth and clean, with slight spice and pepper – refreshing.

Kentucky distiller Bill Samuels, Sr., founder of Maker’s Mark, set out to make a better tasting bourbon whisky. What he discovered was that if you used winter wheat in the mash instead of the traditional distiller’s rye, your bourbon whisky was smoother and less bitter…and that’s made all the difference.

The signature red wax and iconic bottle defines the care that goes into making each bottle of this hand-crafted bourbon. Since the first bottle sold in 1958, each bottle is still hand-dipped with a red wax by people, not machines.

Originally crafted by Kentucky Bourbon Hall-of-Famer Eddie Russell as ‘Wild Turkey 81’, Wild Turkey Bourbon is aged in American White Oak barrels with the deepest, No. 4 ‘alligator’ char. With notes of sweet vanilla, pear, and hints of spice, this bourbon finishes with a flavor that is full and rich, whether enjoyed straight or with a mixer.
