With two Royal Warrants and over 300 years of history, Berry Bros. & Rudd is Britain's original wine and spirits merchant. Family-owned and run, the company still trades from No.3 St James's Street, its home since 1698. This 2010 Fijian rum from independent bottler Berry Bros & Rudd, matured in a single barrel #18 for 12 years, was bottled in 2022 as part of their Winter Releases. Derived from molasses and hailing from the only distillery on the volcanic island of Fiji, this rum offers a unique and intense tasting experience. The nose reveals tropical, funky aromas, with waves of fruity and Agricole-like freshness. Notes of linseed oil, pineapple, guava, grapefruit, engine oil, paraffin, beeswax, vanilla, and cream soda surface throughout the palate and linger in the finish. This bottling is a limited edition, with only 268 bottles available, presented at a formidable 64.6% ABV, ensuring a bold and memorable experience for any rum aficionado.
This rum benefits from a period of resting after pouring. Some enthusiasts find warming the glass in their hands enhances the aromas and flavors, providing a richer experience.
Its origins from Fiji's only distillery, combined with 12 years of aging in a single barrel, contribute to its unique profile of intense tropical fruit notes, earthy undertones, and a distinctive funk.
Given its high ABV of 64.6% and complex flavor profile, it may be more appreciated by experienced rum enthusiasts who enjoy bold and intense spirits.
This Berry Bros. & Rudd 2010 Fiji 12yo is a remarkable expression of Fijian rum. Its high ABV makes it quite potent, especially when first poured, but allowing it to breathe reveals an intricate array of tropical and funky flavors. The warmth and complexity of the palate are truly rewarding, making it a standout among aged rums. A must-try for serious rum enthusiasts looking for something both intense and exceptionally crafted.
