2003 APPLETON HEARTS COLLECTION

Appleton Estate Hearts Collection 2003
Distilled in 2003 and tropically aged for 18 years before its 2021 release, this remarkable expression is part of the renowned Hearts Collection—a collaboration between Appleton Estate and Luca Gargano of Velier. This 100% pot still rum showcases the complexity and depth that only time and craftsmanship can bring.

Tasting Notes
On the nose, rich aromas of orange peel, treacle, toffee, dark chocolate, oak spice, and classic Christmas cake create an inviting profile. The palate unfolds with layers of honey, vanilla, chocolate, warm toffee, ginger spice, citrus zest, and a subtle whisper of smoke. A beautifully balanced and festive expression.
