Exclusive Rum celebrates Jamaican Indepence 50th Anniversary

Back on 6th August 1962, the British flag was lowered in Jamaica for the last time, and the Jamaican flag was raised to end its 307 years as a British Colony. And now, to mark the 50 years of independence, the Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum which has been creating the fiest rum in the country since 1749 has proudly introduced the world's oldest barrel aged rum, the Appleton Estate 50 Year Old Jamaica Independence Reserve.

This £2,815 special edition golden rum, limited to just 800 bottles, comes encased in a had-crafted crystal decanter which denotes etchings inspired by Jamaica's national symbols. Described to be a hand-blended and exceptionally smooth, deep mahogany sipping rum, it has powerful notes of cinnamon, toated oak, almond, maple and vanilla resonated with a distinguished hint of orange peel, which is notably the hallmark of all Appleton Estate Jamaican Rum. 

This special edition rum has been produced from a blend of rums carefully aged in american oak barrels for almost half a century, under the wathful eye of Master Blender Owen Tulloch, and his protégé and Appleton Estate's current Master Blender, Joy Spence. Notably, each barrel was set down over 50 years ago with a specific vision to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jamaican Independence.

A Londoner's Beauty Summer Kit

The Post Festival Recovery Kit by Hayley Cheval Gloucester Park has a Boots nearby. We wait all year for the summer to enjoy the best of the open air. But staying more outside means more time standing up, less sleep, more time in the sun and a lot more walking. And that can make us look tired... which is not at all the face of summer. London beauty queen +Hayley Carr  set up what she calls a "post festival recovery kit", as in London summer = music festivals everywhere (and we love it).  But we thought this selection is also good for every summer event, perfect to make you look fresh all season long. And the best? You can find all the products in London, some in stores like Boots, which we can find everywhere in the city. Here are the selected products in Hayley's words: 1.
