    How does this rum taste?

    • Pleasant tropical fruit aroma
    • Balanced woody and sweet taste
    • Good price-quality ratio

    Plantation Fiji One-Time offers a unique blend of Fijian rum, produced at the South Pacific distillery and refined by Maison Ferrand. Distilled in 2004 using Pot and Column stills, and aged for 19 years, it presents a bouquet of tropical fruit, vanilla, and floral notes. The taste delivers woody and spicy undertones with a sweet, slightly medicinal finish, allowing character yet lacking some complexity expected from its age. While well-balanced with an integrated alcohol profile, some user feedback suggests it misses distinctive Fijian traits. With its affordability and pleasant flavor, it suits those who appreciate subtle tropical nuances without intense complexity.

    "17.11.2023 Another retasting and I still think that price to quality is pretty good. ---------- #4116 First off, the price to quality is very good in my mind. A fruity rum with nice balance in wood and spices. The palate is warm, sweet and oily. There is a nice floral touch to the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is nice with some smoke and coconut."

    "A Fiji Plantation with a fair amount of sweetness and wisdom for its advanced age. The nose evokes exotic fruits with a floral touch, followed by medicinal esters. Woody vanilla, roasted notes and spices complete a profile that's simple enough in itself, but effective in its register. The attack on the palate is a little drier, marked by spicy wood and lightly roasted notes. There are almost tannin-like notes. Later, the fruitiness and sweetness of the bourbon come to the fore, becoming dominant in the glass. A nice profile on the palate, but lacks vivacity, life and personality, which is a shame given the age of the juice. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is relatively long, but offers nothing new in terms of smell or taste. Floral and medicinal notes mingle with exotic fruits, while sweet spices and woodiness try to break through, but to no avail in this aromatic masquerade. A profile from the One Time series, which I'd also only drink once, due to its lack of fantasy."

    "Bold and sour taste with quince, citrus peel and coconut, followed by balsamic and cinnamon. Long aftertaste of smoked molasses, cocoa, almond, cherry, apple and cloves."

    "Der 2004 Jahrgang von Fiji ist wirklich ein Phänomen - hat absolut nichts mit dem typischen Fiji-Profil zu tun. Langweilig, wenig Geschmack, viel Neutralalkohol. So auch hier."
