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.

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.

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 !

NR: Not a great Fiji rum, should be much better for a 9y old blend
7
/10
out of 10
I do a side by side tasting with Fiji Transcontinental line 2014. Yes 4y vs 9y is not fair, but let's see.
Plantation starts smooth with some typical Fiji pot still aromas. I get canned vegetables in combination with caramel and dry fruits. Quite simple nose but beatiful.
The taste starts salty, not sweet like the nose.
It's hard to describe. It starts little bit watery I get salty white oak with melon and some paper. In the middle the taste turns bitter and I get hint of caramel, tannins (bitterness), melon and oak.
The finish is spicy with again salty melon, tannins and vanilla.
The 4y young Fiji has more aromas of plastic and pickled vegetables. It's more interesting for me.
But this one is also not bad. Would rate it with 73 points.
Nose: canned vegetables, plastic, some salted melon, caramel, honey, some white oak and barrel
Taste: salty oak and melon, a hint of paper, vanilla
Middle: a hint of caramel, tannins (bitterness), melon, oak
Finish: spice, salty melon, tannins, vanilla
Aftertaste: after 2min some fruits
Sweetness: 1/5
Fruits: 2.5/5
Spice: 3.5/5
Mildness: 4/5
Complexity: 2/5
Value (38€): 2.5/5
Experiment: I mixed the 4y with my 17y old Fiji.
The nose got smooth but earthy, the pot still aromas got killed. It's not a interesting nose. The taste became earthy, there is also orange peels with canned vegetables now and some caramel.
Blends of Fiji Pot with Column still are not very good. The blend is not bad, but I would prefer a pot still Fiji rum.
