- Description
- Appleton Estate's 1998 pot still rum, aged 25 years in Jamaica, represents a pinnacle of Caribbean spirit craft through the curated Hearts Collection. The 25-year maturation builds complexity with layers of tropical fruit, molasses depth, and oak-driven vanilla warmth that coat the palate richly. At 63% ABV, the texture is full and viscous with a long, warming finish that reveals hints of spice and leather. This is a sipping rum for collectors and serious enthusiasts who appreciate the interplay between age and pot still character.
