Appleton Trail at Nieuw Amsterdam

Appleton Estate recently hosted three exclusive weekend events in Melbourne during April. 

Over the three weekends, Melbournites were provided with the opportunity to experience the unique tastes of Appleton Estate for themselves. Gastrology were pleased to attend the final Appleton Trail at Nieuw Amsterdam where the experiential activation transformed the basement level of Nieuw Amsterdam into Jamaica with lush palms, setting the scene for a thrilling adventure into the heart of traditional rum country. 

The Appleton Trail showcased the many beautiful and untold facets of Appleton Estate. We loved sampling the special Appleton Estate rums and hearing about how they are made from the Estate’s fascinating origins to its unique rum-making process and the rich Jamaican culture from which it springs.

Guests were entertained with Jamaican music, delicious Appleton Estate cocktails and a bespoke Jamaican-inspired food menu.

The brands luxurious original rums have well and truly made their way to Australia!
