Appleton Hearts Collection is the now legendary limited series of 100% pot still single-mark rums, 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 1993 (casks no. 413487 to no. 413499 - 3600 bottles in total) has a congener content of 1456 g/100 LAA #P, and it opens with aromas of nutmeg and cinnamon, mingled with notes of mint, caramel, toasted oak and vanilla.
