Plantation 2009 Fiji

Complexe mais ou les arômes et sensations d’alcool sont prédominants, le vieillissement en fûts de bourbon est perceptible. La notice du producteur indique un palais de caramel, cacao, gingembre, coings et noix de coco. Je dirais plutôt que la chaleur de l’alcool, le gingembre et les épices avec un soupçons de banane dominent. Intense, mérite une acclimatation.

Complex but where the aromas and sensations of alcohol are predominant, aging in bourbon barrels is noticeable. The manufacturer's notice indicates a palate of caramel, cocoa, ginger, quince and coconut. I would rather say that the heat of alcohol, ginger and spices with a hint of banana dominate. Intense, needs to get accustomed to.

Très bon rhum avec une belle finale. Complexe et au goût on perçoit le caramel, les fruits, la banane et le chêne.

Reminds me more of a bourbon than a rum, good oaky flavor but also quite a bit of alcohol bite.

The smell is not very nice. The most people already said it. Its a dry one. Short afterburn. The tast is okay but did not last long. Little bit sweet, you can taste the vanilla! Fine sipper

Didnt know what to expect but it was great. It was both dry and sweet and is not dosed.

Son goût est hors du commun : notes d’épice, de bois, de gingembre mais aussi d’ananas, avec un côté acide en arrière bouche

It is a unique taste I am not a fan of. I would not buy this one again.

Nosing and palate show flavor notes of vanilla and caramel. There is some little ginger spiciness, but with only minor sharpness. This little spiciness is continued into the finish, which is short. Overall a nice sipping rum, not too strong and not too sweet.

Quite a mission to get my hands on this, but well worth the effort! The double ageing, first in Fiji and then in France can be tasted in the rich, toffee and caramel taste!

The rum seems to be too muted from the plantation aging process. I’d like to taste this without the plantation elevage
