Distilled in 2002 and matured entirely in Jamaica’s tropical climate for two decades, this 100% pot still rum delivers extraordinary depth and concentration. Layers of ripe tropical fruit, orange peel, baking spices, toasted oak, and rich molasses unfold across the palate, balanced by Appleton Estate’s signature elegance. Bottled at natural cask strength, the Hearts Collection 2002 is a stunning collector’s release and a masterclass in mature Jamaican rum.

Nestled in Jamaica’s Nassau Valley, Appleton Estate is one of the world’s most revered rum producers, with a distilling heritage dating back to at least 1749. Renowned for its commitment to estate production, Appleton oversees every stage of the process, from locally grown sugarcane and natural limestone-filtered water to tropical maturation under the Jamaican sun. Under the guidance of legendary Master Blender Dr. Joy Spence, the first woman to hold the title of Master Blender in the spirits industry, Appleton has become synonymous with authenticity, complexity, and unmistakable Jamaican character. The prestigious Hearts Collection, created in collaboration with renowned rum visionary Luca Gargano, showcases rare single-vintage, 100% pot still rums that reveal the individual marques normally reserved for Appleton’s celebrated blends.
