Fiji Rum & Co Plantation Fiji Islands 2001 45,8%
The Plantation Fiji Islands rum, distilled in 2001 at Fiji Rum & Co and bottled by Maison Ferrand, exhibits a rich, tropical nose with prominent banana and caramel notes. Its palate offers smokiness with whiskey-like qualities, complemented by tropical fruit undertones. Users admire its fruity complexity and whisky influence, though some describe the finish as slightly overpowering. This rum's medium to long, whiskey-like finish is noted for its dry texture. While it’s appreciated for its harmonious balance of flavors, opinions on its dilution vary, with some finding it lacking in the full-bodied depth expected from a 2001 Fijian release. Overall, it provides an engaging sipping experience but contrasts with other expressions from the same year.

“Fiji 2001 is a promise of a good rum, not infrequently an excellent rum. Plantation has an exclusive pre-purchase deal with South Pacific and so there was reason to believe that Plantation offers here great for little money. Long story short: unfortunately, no. The rum is tame despite an estercount in the Wedderburn range. The typical herbal Fiji markers, which actually harmonize well with whiskey, can hardly unfold. Instead, there is a vanilla sweetness familiar from the 2004s. In the mouth, the whiskey is then very present and partly covers the actual flavors. As is so often the case, Plantation has probably not done very good raw material any favors with the finish and the dilution. This Fiji 2001 nevertheless remains a good rum.”

“Tasted the Turicum bottling. Good nice bouquet (toasty, burnt notes). Finish lasts well: Mixture of whiskey and rum. Good complexity and good PLV. But far from other 2001 Fiji vintages. Imagine if it had more volume 🙄although Cask Strength is indicated. Somehow associations of a marinated Asian chicken skewer from the charcoal grill.”
