The Royal Cane Cask Company 2004 Fiji S.P.D. Cask No. M085 is a distinguished and limited edition rum, boasting a rich and intricate flavor profile. Distilled in 2004 using a traditional pot still and molasses, this rum began its journey in ex-bourbon oak barrels in the Philippines for the first 12 years. It then continued its maturation for an additional 6 years in the cellars of Liverpool, UK, culminating in an impressive 18 years of aging. Bottled at cask strength with a robust 60.2% ABV, this exceptional rum is a testament to fine craftsmanship and meticulous aging.
On the nose, it presents intricate notes of vanilla, toffee, and milk chocolate, intertwined with a distinctive burnt aroma. The palate reveals a complex tapestry of flavors, including savory saltiness, rich toffee, and a unique burnt rubber undertone, complemented by floral nuances. The finish is warm and enduring, characterized by woody, chocolate, and faint leather notes, along with hints of roasted and spicy elements.
Produced by The Royal Cane Cask Company and selected by the renowned independent bottler Infinity Spirits, this single-barrel release is a rare gem, with only 257 numbered bottles available. This rum draws a comparison to the notable Foursquare rum, but with a more robust character suited for winter evenings.

This rum is noted for its warming character with a spicy touch, and it benefits from resting before consumption to soften the alcohol bite. It features light fruity notes along with a robust presence of roasted wood and burnt flavors, making it ideal for winter. Although reminiscent of Foursquare, it stands out with its distinctive burnt rubber and mocha tones, but some might find it lacks the typical complexity of Fiji rums. It has a warm and very long finish, drawing slow-moving thick curtains in the glass, with lingering notes of chocolate and faint leather in the empty glass. Despite some mixed opinions, it remains a unique and enjoyable rum.
