Appleton Estate 29 Years 1993/2022 Rum Hearts Collection 63%

Nose: Wintergreen lifesavers, haribo gummybears, hazelnut, orange peel, prune juice, diesel fumes.

Palate: Strong wood forward tannins, slightly herbal, overaged/steeped black tea, orange peel, anise/clove.

Rating: 6 / 10 – it’s like a cognac or guyana on steroids. While I like all the notes (even the herbal) it’s just turned up too loud and I’m overwhelmed.
