Attendees at the Brooklyn Navy Yard festival venue, learned that all Appleton Estate® Jamaica Rum is produced on a single estate in a small circumscribed geographic area, making it one of the few rums in the world to claim a terroir.

Organizers continued their beneficiary partnership with the Caribbean Tourism Organization and made a donation to support hurricane relief efforts for The Bahamas.
