Appleton Hearts Collection is the now legendary limited-edition range of 100% pot still single marks, selected by Luca Gargano and Joy Spence, the historic Master Blender of Appleton Estate. A world first, it has garnered a cult following among collectors worldwide since its initial release in 2020.
The rums in this exclusive series are the first 100% pot still and vintage single-mark rums ever released by Appleton Estate. The 100% pot still distillation process, which involves cutting off the heads and tails, allows only the heart of the distillate to remain.
After the 1994, 1995, 1999, 1984 and 2003 vintages, it is now the turn of the 1993 (29 years old) and 2002 (20 years old) vintages, which were selected respectively from 13 and 20 casks, chosen from the approximately 200,000 casks aging at the Jamaican distillery.
The Hearts Collection 2002 (Casks 404082 to 404101 - 5700 bottles in total) has a congener content of 834 g/100 LAA #P, and features notes of orange blossom and molasses, vanilla, coffee and caramel, with a rich and sweet honey taste on the palate.
