South Pacific Plantation One-Time Limited Edition 2009 13yr 49,5%

RX12369 Good Pot Still Rum Single Cask <100€

“Tropical, smooth sipper. Decent, not exceptional.”

The Plantation One-Time Limited Edition from the South Pacific Distillery in Fiji is a 2009 pot-still rum, aged 13 years, boasting a 49.5% ABV. Selected by Maison Ferrand, this rum captivates with its complex tropical fruit and vanilla aromas complemented by caramel and ester notes. While the flavor profile includes sweet tropical fruits, vanilla, and a touch of spice, some users find the cognac cask influence dominant. Its pleasant sipping qualities make it a popular yet not standout choice. Noted for minimal alcoholic burn, the rum is sometimes perceived as thin, with criticisms aimed at the integration of alcohol and its less pronounced complexity. An intriguing option for daily consumption.

“I didn't really have high expectations, but I found the nose to be quite good: light esters, sweetish fruit with a slight floral note. On the palate, however, it is too thin... and the aromas are only faintly perceptible. First the sweetness dominates, then the cask. The finish is relatively short.”

“Well so me somehow too sweet and also too one-dimensional. Fruit is there but already lacks spice. Absolutely easy to drink but once try is enough for me here.alcohol is also not particularly integrated and comes at Abv under 50 noticeably through.”

“Fiji marker present ! A very interesting nose but on the other hand in mouth it is flat and alcohol which is really present. Disappointment”

“Black tea and toasted coconut all the way through. Flowery on the nose. Fruits and esters are dominant in comparison to the wood. There’s even a little volatility to this. The taste is woodier than expected. Subtle rubber and maybe even some petroleum. It’s intricate, but the cognac influence is too present. This has also been watered down and as a result it’s slightly too thin for me. Pretty good daily sipper.”

“My 100th review! 🥳 The nose is alot less fruit forward than expected from the official tasting notes. Woody and roasted with a red fruit/cherry hit on the back. Reminds me of a cherry flapjack. The palate is a medium on the dry to sweet scale. There's definitely signs of age with big barrel notes. But this is balanced out with papaya and a bitter orange towards the finish. The finish is long and there's a sweetness that's only really present here. Papaya still and the bitter orange. Possibly a hint of tobacco. Overall, it's delightful. Very well balanced. Benefits from a drop of water but once it opens up it's devine.”

“I really enjoyed this, it is not some highlight special superb rum, but sympathic one for all night sipping. I bought it for 40€ in the shop, so, I can only recommend it!”

“Plantation for sure can make great releases, but in my opinion this one are not one of them. Very self-closed, poor, and almost “empty” release. Bad experience.”
