This is the estate of the eponymous rum business. In September 2012, the sale by CL Financial of an 81.4% stake in Lascelles de Mercado & Co. of Jamaica to Campari of Italy for US$414.7MM was reported. Lascelles' brands included Appleton Estate, Wray & Nephew and Coruba [City AM, London, 4 September 2012 p. 11]; there is background on the estate and the business at the Appleton Estate website (though there is no mention of slavery in its notes on the history).
