About this bottle
This is one of three rums in the Appleton Estate Hearts Collection, a selection of scarce, limited edition bottlings. Rum expert Luca Gargano and Appleton Estate Master Blender Joy Spence collaborated on the series. Each rum features a single vintage year, 1994 in this instance, and was distilled using a Forsyths pot still. It spent 26 years aging before being bottled at 60% ABV in November 2020, with a global release.
