“Beautiful, red-golden color. Glue, licorice, tropical fruits, ginger, spices. Chocolate and oranges. Powerful, well balanced. Mouth-filling, tropical fruits, spicy, gingerbread, dark malt. Warm, long finish. An outstanding rum. Clearly in line with the series and one of the better ones. Its profile lies between 2003 (fruity) and 1999 (liquorice). Long tropical ageing without any lignification testifies to high craftsmanship. The music: the soundtrack by Dr.No.”

“No wonder Joy decided to put this into her anniversary blend. This is very good and might be the best mark/bottling from the hearts collection to date (side-by-side pending, though 🙂) Intense and rich on the nose with herbs, fruits and ginger. Amazing on the palate es well with candid ginger and fruits as well nice (and well balanced) woody notes. Superb stuff.”

“Excellent representative of the Hearts series! Tropical fruit, dried fruit, polish, floral notes, toffee. Quite powerful on the palate, but the 63% is not at all 'scratchy'. I also clearly detected tropical fruits in the direction of passion fruit... There is no direct comparison now, but from memory I would say that it can keep up very well with my previous favorites, the '93, '94 and '84.”
