Celebrate Joy Spence’s 20th anniversary as master blender.

Joy Spence is one of the world’s best-known rum makers, with two decades of experience as master blender for Appleton Estate. She is the guiding hand behind some of our favourite rums and we’re celebrating her 20^th anniversary at Appleton with a tasting.

To honour her anniversary, Appleton has launched the 25-year-old Appleton Estate Joy Anniversary Blend. To make it, Joy used just two rum marques, one of which was laid down in 1981, the year that she started at Appleton.

The tasting will explore the full Appleton range and Joy’s anniversary creation, which may be her finest work yet.
