Plantation 2009 Fiji

Nice and dry. Some nice brown butter and burnt caramel hints. Cognac really pulls through in a good way. Sip this while you eat a snickerdoodle.

This has a nice balance, as a sipper pretty clean. Has a typical Plantation taste which I enjoy, a bit sweeter than non Fiji style. I don't see this too often at stores, grab it if you see it, worth a try for sure

After the Barbados 2005 this is a nice surprise. Where the bourbon age was missing in the previous bottle, this completely makes up for it. It has a nice soft but well aimed kick to it. For the Plantation night this is curently best.

I have to say that I was impressed with this rum, I really enjoyed it. I had a few other drinks before so I wasn’t really focused in getting all the nuances but I had it neat and I had a great experience. I will have it again next time with more calm and observation.

what's the smell? like glue,paint not possible to drink.same of mine money.
but after the bottle was open and let the rum breath it was a complete other rum.
my experience take a bigger glas and let it breath for 10 minutes ,theres a nicer smell and a beter tasting. i have to put my ranking from 2 to 7.cheers

Rum zrál nejdříve 7 let v sudech po bourbonu v South Pacific Distillery na Fidži a poté ještě 2 roky ve Francii v 350l sudech po koňaku Ferrand.

Aroma: Velmi funky - zázvor, kurkuma, kyselost, lehounce jód. Na pozadí zjemňující ovocnost.
Chuť: Shnilé ovoce, lehce bylinky a med. Jemná.
Dozvuk: Směs kyselého ovoce a zemitosti. Střední.
Sladkost: 0/3
Notně zasmrádlé, ale jinak pohodové a nenáročné pití. Jako v mém případě na celovečerní společenskou akci ideální.

Very tasty rum and great value for money. Makes me want to explore more from Plantation

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club tasting on 4/13/19. Seems too young. Hot aroma and palate. Lots of pepper. Slightly metallic. Lots of oak rescues this. A bit pedestrian.

I wanted to experiment with the new collection Under the sea, liking the art on the bottle and package.
I discovered the Fiji, which give you a really long mint note on the end, I definitely love it on mojito !

I enjoyed this one alot! Smooth and dry, almost like a whiskey!
