Plantation Isle Fiji

If you are looking for a unique experience this is a great deal. I enjoy just sipping neat!

Had just a sample of this Pot and Column distilled rum from Rum Company of Fiji bottled by Plantation.
The total aging is 3-4 years, first tropical in ex-Bourbon barrels and then in France in French oak casks.
In nose it’s quite sharp, smoky and fruity but I also detect vanilla.
On the palate it’s still fruity and smoky but also spicy and I recognize banana, ginger and hints of coconut.
The rather short finish goes on in the same way.
Overall a quite OK rum, but a pity that the finish was so short.
Please: My emptied sample poured in a glass.

A great amber colour in the stubby Plantation bottle with a tropical coloured label. The nose is fruity, funky and sweet. It is like Jamacian and Barbados rums combined. It is a great mixer and is easily sipped with little burn. This is my first rum from Fiji and I will be looking for more. $37Can is a deal for this rum.

The Plantation rums I've tried so far all seem to have a similar characteristic aftertaste. Not bad, but not great. Not as dry or funky as the Xaymaca. Prefer the Stiggens Fancy Pineapple rum.

OK, just did a taste test with their XO. I'm buying 2 bottles of this instead of 1 bottle of the XO for the same price. 2 for 1 is a great deal! In my opinion just the right amount of added sugar so that's a plus. Price point on target with similar brands. Although it's true they produce better rums for 3 or 4x the price this one has a spot on my bar. OK.... for you guys who need $100 bottles don't stock it but for us pirates this works! 12/23 update. Looks like the well is drying up but, I've found TW keeps this in stock. .Big plus for me.This is one to keep on the shelf and remember! 😍

Another one great rum from Plantation.
Typical taste from Plantation company with bubble funky spirit of Fiji Islands.
Recommending.

I give this a meh. Off putting aroma but otherwise palatable. Tastes ok but not top shelf. Inexpensive. Haven’t found the right mixer yet. Nothing touches the 5 year.

It's not too great, too much bourbon mouthfeel, too strong alcohol aftertaste... a little bit few aromas...

I really enjoyed the flavor of this rum. Notes of cinnamon and other warm, earthy spices. But it's just a bit too rough going down for a sipping rum. Yet, it's pricier than I want to spend on a mixing rum. It's like the opposite of the Goldilocks Zone, which is a shame because again I really did like the flavor profile.

Vôňa príjemne sladká, trošku acetónová. Chuť mi pripomína whisky. Samotné sa to moc piť nedá, pôjde to do miešaných drinkov.
