The Plantation 2009 Fiji Vintage Edition 9yo is a traditional Fijian rum boasting an ABV of 44.8% and a volume of 700ml. Distilled in 2009 at the renowned South Pacific Distillery, this exceptional rum underwent a unique combination of column and iron still distillation. Initially aged for 7 years in bourbon barrels at the distillery, it was then transferred to the Ferrand cognac house for an additional 2 years of aging in cognac barrels. This meticulous aging process results in a refreshingly sweet and indulgent molasses brandy, with a vibrant fruit-forward palate featuring notes of cherry pits, almond cream, and cherries in brandy. The rum's profile is reminiscent of a Worthy Park profile, sans the banana, with a hint of Port Mourant inspiration. The aroma and flavor profile are marked by a harmonious balance of vegetal and fruity notes, culminating in a finish that lingers with almond cream, cherries in brandy, and thorn liqueur. Plantation Rums are crafted using traditional methods that vary depending on their origin. Copper pot stills, in use for over 700 years, produce soft and aromatic rums, while column stills, invented in the early 19th century, yield light and elegant rums. The rum is then aged in oak barrels that previously held bourbon, imparting a unique character to the spirit. This limited edition Plantation Rum is a unique alliance of column and Charentais distillations, making it a must-try for rum enthusiasts.
