South Pacific distillery: Fiji rum with bold esters, ocean breeze elegance
Anchored in Fiji’s sugarcane heartland, the South Pacific distillery has shaped a distinctive island style for decades. Working with locally sourced molasses, teams run copper pot and column stills to craft fruity, ester-forward spirits and cleaner, elegant distillates. Ocean-kissed maturation adds a subtle saline edge. On RumX, 3,197 community reviews average a confident 8.0/10—proof that character and quality keep fans returning.
From lively high-ester pot still lots to rounded blends, South Pacific rum delivers tropical fruit, smoke, caramel and vanilla. Collaborations with Maison Ferrand (Plantation), Rum Artesanal, Transcontinental Rum Line, The Rum Cask and La Maison du Whisky spotlight Fiji rum with standouts like Plantation Isle of Fiji, Fiji 2014 and Plantation Fiji Vintage for depth, value and versatility.

Flavour profile of South Pacific
Most frequently mentioned flavors
RumX drinkers praise the bold Fiji ester signature—pineapple, banana, varnish and a fresh saline touch—balanced by caramel, vanilla and gentle smoke from oak. Many highlight excellent value, especially in vibrant cask‑strength or single‑cask releases that open up with time. Some lower‑ABV bottlings can feel a bit mild or thin, and certain cognac finishes divide opinion, but the best expressions show thrilling intensity, great balance and long, satisfying finishes.
