The Appleton Estate 1995 Jamaica Hearts Collection is a distinguished 25-year-old rum, meticulously distilled in a Forsyths pot still and bottled at an impressive cask strength of 63% ABV. This exquisite rum is a product of a unique collaboration between the renowned Appleton Estate and the esteemed independent bottler Velier. With only 3,000 bottles produced, it stands as a rare gem among rum enthusiasts.
This limited-release rum is aged in its tropical Jamaican homeland, an uncommon practice for such mature rums, contributing to its distinctive profile. The initial aroma is monumental, featuring tannic and green woody notes with a complex character that evolves over time. Medicinal and resinous accents transition into a rich, gourmand flavor profile, highlighted by confit fruits, creamy almonds, and a refreshing touch of menthol.
Upon tasting, the rum's palate begins with a mordant and astringent tannin presence, swiftly transforming into a mellow, honey-like sweetness. The intertwined wood notes form a rich, oily, and vanilla-infused paste, complemented by a bittersweet orange peel nuance. As the rum aerates, the tannins soften, unveiling a full-bodied concentration with delightful amplitude and roundness.
The woody notes deliver a symphony of caramel, vanilla, toasted nuances, and grilled nuts, akin to the profile of Demerara-style rums. This remarkable elixir is celebrated for its intensity, complexity, and aromatic allure, offering a creamy and well-integrated mouthfeel that is both unique and powerful, reminiscent of a Guyana-style rum.
With a nose that captures tobacco, wood, mint, leather, and vanilla, and a palate rich in dried fruit, chocolate, and roasted spices, the Appleton Estate 1995 Jamaica Hearts Collection 25yo 63% 700ml is an extraordinary rum that leaves a lasting impression.
