Kobrand Spirits, a division of The Kobrand Corporation, today announced the October 2009 introduction of the rare Appleton Estate 30-Year-Old to the Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum collection in the United States. Appleton Estate adheres to the English law of minimum aging which mandates the age of the youngest rum in a blend be on the label.

Hand-crafted by Master Blender Joy Spence, each of the 744 limited-edition bottles of Appleton Estate 30-Year-Old aged rum available to the U.S. were created from individual marques of rum set to age in oak barrels over 30 years ago.

The resulting luxury product is unmatched in taste, character and smoothness.
