The Appleton Estate 1984 Jamaica Hearts Collection Pot Still Rum is a highly divisive rum with opinions ranging from high praise to disappointment. Reviewers appreciate its complex and powerful nose with notes of wood, resin, and tropical fruits. The taste is often described as intensely woody, bitter, and leathery, with a long, dry, and bitter finish. Some find it overly dominated by wood and lacking in balance and complexity, comparing it unfavorably to other vintages. However, it is still acknowledged as a significant piece of rum history and a must-try for enthusiasts, despite its high price point and polarizing flavor profile.
