The L'esprit 2017 Fiji Single Cask 83% 700ml rum bottle is a unique and intense rum that offers an unparalleled sensory experience. Distilled in 2017 at the renowned South Pacific distillery in Fiji and bottled by the prestigious L'Esprit brand in 2018, this rum stands out for its remarkable complexity and high proof. Despite its 83% ABV, it exudes a surprising harmony and balance.
Upon the first sip, the rum reveals intense fermentation notes of black olive and earthiness, accompanied by a thick, caramelized molasses flavor reminiscent of almost burnt sugar. Adding a few drops of water releases a burst of pastry flavors, followed by tantalizing hints of ripe fruits, almonds, and a creamy texture akin to a luxurious sabayon.
The rum's initial power might mask its intricate aromas, but patience rewards the taster with a rich, pastry-like flavor profile interwoven with almond cream and very ripe exotic fruits. Vegetal notes such as stone fruit, sage, resin, and a touch of mastic further enhance its depth.
This rum exemplifies the traditional distillation methods of Fiji's archipelago, which involves a unique combination of two distillation techniques. The result is a concentrated, complex rum that not only stands strong on its own but can also elevate any blend. L'esprit 2017 Fiji Single Cask is truly a masterpiece that offers a multifaceted and enjoyable tasting experience.

Reviewers are astounded by the L'esprit 2017 Fiji Single Cask's ability to deliver such complexity and balance at an astonishing 83% ABV. The aroma offers notes of papaya, pineapple, nail polish, ginger, and rose. On the palate, it explodes with flavors of papaya, mocha, dark chocolate, and a slight metallic undertone, rounded off by a ripe fruit sweetness. The finish leaves a lasting impression of strong coffee dusted with cocoa and more papaya. Despite its high proof, this rum is incredibly drinkable, providing immense enjoyment in small sips. Truly an exceptional rum that exceeds expectations and stands as a benchmark in its category.
