Ready to celebrate Jamaica’s 50th? Got a spare 5 grand US in your pocket? Appleton Estate is celebrating Jamaica’s half-century of independence with what surely qualifies as one of the world’s most expensive rums. According to parent J. Wray and Nephew Co., the 50-year-aged Appleton Estate Jamaica Independence Reserve will be the oldest rum currently on the market worldwide. We just wonder if anyone will actually be drinking the stuff come Aug. 6.
