Appleton Estate 2003 Hearts Collection 18-Year

My second favorite Appleton from the series started with 1994. And lucky still easy to get, or better say, for normal price. Dry but at the same time sweet tone, fruity, vanilla and bourbon. Long end. You definitely enjoy this one over long evening. 9+

My first Hearts collection selected by Luca Gargano, the modern Rum legend. Great medium brown color in the glass, nice top shelf scent in the glass, first sip neat initial Jamaican funk followed by long hot finish, definitely an ice cube needed for my pallet. Only a few of these 60%+ overproof rums I can handle neat, this one needs a little taming. 1st sip slightly chilled and diluted makes it more tolerable, but this is a full bodied rum for serious Jamaican rum lovers. I’m OK with it but it’s just not my cup of tea or favorite rums. Still a high rating though as it is a great expression of superior rums.

Skvěle doplňuje radu Hearts. Estery, dřevo, ovoce. Pro mě druhy nej z rady, pořad vede 95.
