A Pioneering Launch – Appleton Estate 17-Year-Old Legend in NFT Format
The grand plan involves releasing the much-acclaimed Appleton Estate 17-Year-Old Legend in an unmatched NFT format. This move will serve to fortify the notable rum’s standing in the nascent field of digital asset trading.

For this, the acclaimed Oneika Russell, Jamaican Visual Artist, collaborates artistically to produce NFT designs that encapsulate the vibrant Jamaican spirit, drawing from the rich Caribbean tropical patterns.
