Appleton, in addition to the Wray & Nephew and Coruba Rum brands, was acquired by the Campari group in December as part of the company's purchase of the Jamaican company Lascelles deMercado & Co. Limited.

Campari agreed to pay $20 million to Kobrand for the buy-back of the Appleton Rum portfolio distribution rights in the US.
