- Description
- Matured for 18 years and bottled at 63% ABV as part of the Hearts Collection, this 2003 Appleton Estate rum demonstrates the depth achievable through extended tropical ageing. Orange peel, treacle, toffee and Christmas cake on the nose give way to honey, vanilla, chocolate, ginger and citrus on a warming palate with a suggestion of soft smoke. A full-bodied, complex rum for sipping neat or as the foundation of spirit-forward cocktails.
