“Edit Edit: Ein Traum einmal die ganze Appleton Hearts Reihe durch zu probieren können. Mein Fazit wäre, dass es sich hier um eine wirklich hochwertige Reihe handelt. Alles in allem sind es alle Klasse Abfüllungen. Einen wahren Sieger hier zu bestimmen fällt mir persönlich schwer. Einzig der 84er fällt ein wenig ab. Sowie der 02er können nicht ganz so mithalten, wobei das jammern auf hohem Niveau ist. Wenn ich mich jedoch auf einen festlegen müsste, wäre es vermutlich der 03er, weil es der erste war, den ich aus der Serie probiert habe. Edit: gestern nochmal gemütlich mit einer Zigarre mit DomM in aller Ruhe verkostet. Einfach ein Wahnsinn der Rum. Nochmal ein wenig nach oben korrigiert. Franconian Tasting Gang am 19.04.2024 Die erste und auch letzte diesesmal Einzelverkostung an diesem sehr fortgeschritten Abend/Nacht. Aus dem Gedächtnis heraus, aber hinter dem 2003 der noch präsent in meinem Gedächtnis ist. Ein komplettes Blind-Crosstasting der Hearts Reihe wird aber noch folgen.”

“A classic Appleton is certainly not, there is certainly the 94 New Yarmouth batch much closer to it.Blind I would rather guess Demerara. The nose is beautiful and unique, Appleton also recognizable in the background. Then difficult in the mouth, very much licorice and herbs. The alcohol is super integrated, the 21 years of tropical aging resulted in a lot of depth and richness.Expectations met? No. Still a very interesting beautiful rum.Edit: The bottle is now open for a year. Licorice and herbs have given way to dried fruit. Really great to drink, an excellent rum! Yesterday enjoyed a glass with a perfectly matured Cazadores. A favorite rum that needs a while to develop in the open bottle.”

“Heavy dark notes for wood and leather on the mos with (dried) fruits and quite some medicinal notes and herbs. Nice. Well balanced on the palate with more sweetness than expected alongside milkchoclate and toffee. Dried fruits show up here again.”
