The Appleton Estate Hearts Collection 1993 (aged 29 years) and 2002 (aged 20 years) vintages are the sixth and seventh addition to the series, and were selected from just 13 and 20 barrels respectively.

 

Master blender Joy Spence chose the barrels from a selection of nearly 200,000 barrels ageing in Appleton Estate’s warehouses in Jamaica. Many of the previous releases in the collection sold out in seconds.

 

“Rums aged in tropical climates develop richer, fuller flavours much more quickly than spirits aged at cooler climates, so when you taste a rum aged for more than 20 years like our new releases from the Hearts Collection, it’s a really extraordinary experience,” said Spence. “I had long dreamed of releasing single vintage selections from Appleton Estate, so it’s been amazing to see the warm reception the Hearts Collection releases receive year after year, all around the world.”
