APPLETON 20 ans 2002 HEARTS COLLECTION

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 the Appleton Estate. It is a world first and has been the subject of a cult following among collectors around the world since 2020, the year of the first releases. The rums that make up this exclusive series are the first 100% pot still and vintage single mark rums ever released by Appleton Estate. The 100% pot still distillation, which consists of 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 have been selected respectively in 13 and 20 casks, chosen among the 200,000 or so casks that age at the Jamaican distillery. The Hearts Collection 2002 (Casks 404082 to 404101 - 5,700 bottles in total) has a congeneric content of 834g/100 LAA; there are notes of orange blossom and molasses, vanilla, coffee and caramel, with a rich, sweet honey taste.
