A fine addition to the collection of both rum and whiskey aficionados seeking something distinctive and pleasurable.
The Plantation Fiji Islands 2001 is distilled using a Pot Still.
The Fiji 2001 rum is tropical aged for 19 years.
The whiskey finish imparts smoky notes and a nuanced nutty cereal vibe, adding complexity to the sweet and fruity profile of the rum.
This review is based on my second tasting session, and it was an improvement over the first. The nose is vibrant with intense tropical fruit and banana, with a smoky hint. Complexity is evident, with the whiskey notes asserting themselves nicely over time. The palate mirrors the aromatic profile, with a seamless transition from ripe tropical fruit to a nuanced, nutty cereal vibe. In my view, it doesn't taste diluted. The finish is medium, dry, and leans more towards a whiskey-like ending. This rum stands out as a harmonious blend of smoky and fruity elements, making it a delightful addition to any collection.
