A dry, oak-driven 20 Year Old Appleton single marque from Velier’s Hearts Collection, with roasted coffee, caramel, dried fruit and citrus lifted by menthol and spice, a powerful Jamaican pot still sipper at an intense 63%.
Description
Bottled by Velier in its Hearts Collection, this is a single marque Appleton from Jamaica, aged twenty years and presented at full proof. It sets aside Appleton's usual smooth, accessible house style for something far more serious, a dry, oak-driven pot still rum built for slow contemplation rather than easy sipping.
Long tropical ageing in ex-bourbon wood, with the fast maturation and heavy evaporation the climate brings, has pushed it toward roasted coffee, caramel, dried fruit and oak, lifted by citrus, red fruit, menthol and spice rather than overt ester funk. Bottled unsweetened at a powerful 63%, it is round but firmly dry, the cask very much in charge. This is a rum for experienced drinkers who want Appleton's depth and polish at full strength, a structured single marque sipper rather than a fruity funk bomb.
