The Compagnie des Indes 2010 Fiji 10yo 44% 700ml rum is a single cask molasses rum that has been distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2021 after a predominantly tropical aging process. The distillery of origin remains a secret, but it is believed to be the South Pacific Distillery located on the island of Fiji. The island is known for its fertile volcanic soil and favorable climate, contributing to the distinctive and typical character of Fiji rum. The sugarcane grown there is notably high in sugar and low in tannins.
After distillation, the rum was likely aged in bourbon barrels made of American white oak in its home country. It was then transported to Europe and further aged in a continental climate before being bottled in France without chill filtration. This rum showcases a fruity aroma with notes of red berries, cherry, frangipani, and elderflower. The palate offers a slight tartness with flavors of red fruits such as red currant and raspberry, as well as hay and smoke. The finish is dry, fine-grained, and slightly woody with pepper and hints of oak.
