The Albert Michler 2004 Fiji Single Cask GB is a rare and exquisite rum, with only 225 bottles released. Distilled in 2004 in a pot still using molasses, this rum spent 16 years aging in a bourbon barrel in the tropical climate of Fiji. It was then transferred to Scotland, where it matured for an additional 8 months in a refill bourbon barrel, influenced by the continental climate. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 52%, this rum is unchillfiltered and free from added coloring, maintaining its pure and natural character.
Produced by the South Pacific Distillery in Fiji, this dark rum boasts a rich and multifaceted flavor profile. The aroma is complex, featuring notes of herbal roots, mint, wood, vanilla, feinherb walnuts, exotic fruits, bittersweet licorice, citrus fruits, cocoa, a hint of smoke, and a touch of rauch. On the palate, it continues to impress with flavors of woody, smoky, fruity, and spicy notes, accented by cardamom. The finish is long and well-balanced, with a delightful blend of smoky wood, minty spice, and dried fruit.
This Fiji rum, distinguished by its purple label, is a hidden gem and a testament to the Albert Michler Distillery's dedication to high-quality single cask bottlings. Known for their expertise in selecting exceptional casks, the distillery has expanded its range to include remarkable offerings like this one.
