Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"I bough this bottle two weeks ago and have been looking forward to crack it open. First off the bat. This rum is blended of rums with an age between 30 and 50 years. The master blender is a woman called Joy Spence (the same name as their 25 year blend) and she did a bang of a job. The perfect rum for a Cohiba cigar. Perfectly blended, complex and a perfectly rounded taste that just keeps on going. A typical Jamaican rum and as good as they come. The price tag is at 500+ euro and this bottle is well worth the money. This version is released in a limited 1440 bottles. Just ordered 2nd edt."

Top review from Joachim Guger:
"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."

"#5 RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: fruits (apricot, cocconut, banana), fruity, woody M: spicy, woody, astrigend, roasted, minty F: oak, vanilla, caramel Prediction: guyana maybe (had some appleton estate in mind, but with that tastes… i‘m unsure) , approx. 55-60%…. totally wrong 🙈 Update: Still the beste AE Hearts for me An amazing Appelton Estate! It has a nice burnt umber color and oily tears. The first impression is a smell of glue and different fruits, the typical Jamaican/appleton smell. For sure this one needs time to fully open. In mouth it has a bitter, complex, ginger, tropical fruits… and low ester. The finish is a warm, dry, salty, woody, vanilla with a bit of orange. Resume: Best of Appelton so far!"

Top review from Christoph:
"I love this oak forest. There are other unicorns besides the 1986 WIRD. You walk in a very old oak forest, fresh resin on the nose (the couch potato could also say glue), some orange keeps in the background, humus-rich forest floor on which grows damp moss. The taste continues with a pleasant bitterness for wood lovers, dried fruits keep in the background. Too much fruit here would also destroy the flair of the forest. With time in the glass, leather and vanilla come through more strongly. The finish is extremely long lasting, complemented by tobacco. Disappointed here who expects a maximum of complexity which is simply not very pronounced."

Top review from Joachim Guger:
"The nose is dominated by solvents, polish, then tropical fruit, citrus, tobacco. The 25 years of tropical maturity is hardly noticeable. Very nice.In the mouth then much more wood. Long, complex finish , now more caramel and dried fruit.Very complex, easy drinking.Appleton I would not have recognized here, I can not help myself, the rum reminds me strongly of a 45% Caroni minus rubber and tar.😉Not for full proof gladiators, but that was not the intention here. It should be a great sipper, he is then also.Certain recognition value with the 95 Hearts."

Top review from Oliver:
"On the nose a great combination of fruits (cherry, apples, mango), citrus and sweet notes (caramel, vanilla). Quite dry on the palate with red fruits (cherries again) and spicy wood notes. Little esters, but a pronounced spiciness and creaminess. Great Jamaican rum with little funk but power."

Top review from zabo:
"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."

Top review from SaibotZtar :
"It is already a polarizing rum. Personally, I like it very much because it is simply quite different from all other Appleton's. Lots of fruit, esters, honey but very little wood. A few bitter notes. Pure is good to drink even if not overdimensionally complex but just different. In the Mai Tai he delivers a good final product if he is also here (maybe it's because of the expectations or also because you already had incredibly good stuff in the MT) not really the bringer. The price I leave out (that would correct the rating strongly down) because I want to evaluate the pleasure not the price!!!"

"This new release is more on the roasted side than the other ones. Lightly fruity with vanilla and wonderful caramel. On the palate there is wonderful roasted wood and I find it nice and round with and oily feel on the tongue. Price to quality is very good in my mind."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This one is better than the regular 12 year old and a very nice surprise. I also like the shape of the bottle. Oak from nose to finish, very fresh with fruits and spices. This is a sipper and not a mixer. Price to quality is very good."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"A very good everyday rum. The nose is rather round but mostly woody and fruity with a little spiciness and a little roasted. At the palate the aromas comes back rather strongly as flavors (except for the roastiness) with a certain sweetness."

Top review from Sam 🥃 :
"First Jamaican rum that I could taste. I find it good and very accessible considering its price. In spite of its 40%, I find the alcohol a bit too pronounced and I also regret the semi-opaque bottle. But it's a good start to discover Jamaican rums, with flavors, like coffee, chocolate, tobacco...I find the nose better than the mouth. The history of a rum is just as interesting as its aromatic palette, sometimes more. In the history of Blackwell, there is Bob Marley, James Bond, and Joy Spence the Master Blender of the Appleton Estate brand. It is interesting to note that by buying Blackwell rum a portion is donated to the Golden Eye Foundation in Oracabessa which acts in favor of the population and biodiversity of the bay. Nice anyway"
