This limited-edition collection of 100% pot still single marks selected by Luca Gargano and Joy Spence has now become the stuff of legend.
After the 1994, 1995, 1999, 1984 and 2003 vintages, it's now time for the 1993 and 2002 releases.
Since 2020, the year of the first releases, the Appleton Hearts Collection has been a true cult item among collectors around the world, with some versions selling literally seconds after their release online.
The project stems from the idea of bottling the best single marks legendary Master Blender Joy Spence uses to create the blends that have made the history of Appleton Estate, which had never been shown before to the world individually. For centuries, the distillery has in fact been bottling exclusively rum blends from column and pot still distillation.
This 100% pot still bottling is a first in Appleton's history – vintage rums of different marks, distilled in pot stills and kept jealously secret. Each mark is aged up to 30 years in a tropical climate - a unique feature in the world of rum.
The sixth and seventh editions demonstrate the huge depth of the range, something that was achieved thanks to the distillery's incredible barrel stock. With more than 200,000 barrels, the depth of the Appleton Estate stock is unparalleled in the world and it's the only rum distillery with which this co-bottling would have been possible.
Going back to the dawn of the project, the spark ignites when Luca Gargano meets Joy Spence. It all starts with a private barrel tasting at Appleton Estate, when Luca and Joy select the range of exceptional vintage pot still rums that would eventually make up the collection.
