Kingston 62 Gold Jamaican Rum, 70cl

Product Information

The rationale behind the name change is to separate Appleton Special — sometimes described as Appleton's 'entry level rum' — from the more prestigious Appleton Estate rum blends. In 2006 Lascelles de Mercado, known mainly for its J Wray and Nephew (JWN) and Appleton rums, launched a new brand of beer called Kingston 62, linking into Jamaica's year of independence. But the new larger had a hard time competing against the established Red Stripe, and by 2010 the beer and its brand with its crocodile logo were no longer. Kingston 62 is the new Appleton Special worldwide,” Alison Moss-Solomon J Wray and Nephew's brand communications manger for Jamaica and the Caribbean confirmed with the Jamaica Observer yesterday. Pero ¿quién es Kingston 62?, la respuesta es fácil, es el mismo ron que ya conocías, pero con una identidad renovada. Una identidad que hace referencia a diferentes elementos de la cultura jamaicana como el número 62, el año de la independencia de Jamaica, así como el león que simboliza la fuerza, el valor y el orgullo del pueblo jamaicano, también verás la torre del reloj, una representación artística simplista de la torre del reloj icónico de Kingston y finalmente hace referencia a la destilería J. Wray & Nephew, misma destilería en donde se produce Appleton Estate.

Appleton and J Wray and Newphew had by far the largest presence at the festival, with at leat four large exibition and entertainment areas, two with two floors. But other Jamaican producers also made their presence felt, with Worthy Park, Monymusk and Hampden in attendance.

The decision to discontinue Appleton Special & White was to allow the name 'Appleton' to live solely on our Premium rum collection: Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum. Kingston 62 replaces Appleton Special & White globally as Campari Group's primary standard rum proposition,” an official release from JWN stated. But Vivene Lue-Tenn who was actually at the Rum Festival was more concerned about the contents than the new look, noting that it was the “same great rum!”. In 2010 at the suspension of the beer brand, it was reported that Lascelles de Mercado (owned by Gruppo Campari since 2012) said Kingston 62 was not dead and that the move should not be viewed as a permanent exit.

Tal como Appleton, Kingston 62, tendrá 2 variedades, Gold y White, las cuales que mantienen el mismo sabor y las mismas presentaciones 750 y 950ml y el mismo precio que Appleton Special y White respectivamente. Lo puedes encontrar en autoservicios y canal tradicional, como Bodegas Alianza, El Duero, Vinos América, entre otros. Fast forward 10 years and the brand is now being resurrected, making its presence known at the Jamaica Rum Festival that took place at Hope Gardens last weekend —although that was not the official launch. This time, however, the brand had taken on a new spirit, and replaced the established Appleton Special brand to become Kingston 62 Jamaica Gold Rum. But that brand, too, is on its way out. “J Wray Gold and White will discontinue as brands”, Moss-Solomon told the Business Observer.

The “attitude and ubiquitous Kingston swagger” are designed with the 21-34 year-old rum drinker in mind, tapping into the significant penetration of rum among younger consumers – 70% of spirits drinkers aged 18-24 drink rum, rising to 79% of 25-34-year-old spirits drinkers (Harris Interactive).
