How does this rum taste?
This 21-year Fiji Single Cask Rum from Cane Rum Bottling Company, distilled at South Pacific, draws attention for its sweet-fruity nose and distinct petrol and woody undertones. Many tasters picked up a sweet, nuanced profile with notes of tea and spice—one calling out a "träsmak?🤔" (Robin Törnqvist), while another found it "på den adstringerande sidan" (Johannes). As the 61% ABV suggests, there’s plenty of intensity, but layered flavours evolve as you sip. Finnish fans commented on its resemblance to the legendary '01 Fiji profile, though not quite as balanced, while others enjoyed its intrigue after returning for a third tasting.

Overall a very interesting rum. Hadn’t expected something like this from Fiji. Tasted this at a special tasting at Rum Cane Society (CRS) in Stockholm, which is the rum bar in Europe with most different rum bottlings. The Cane Bottling Co. is a Swedish IB founded and owned by Lars Renbjer and Niklas Blomquist, the latter co-owner of CRS. The rum is a 21yo Pot Still blended with some column still from the South Pacific Distillery in Fiji. It’s tropical aged for 7 years on former bourbon casks and thereafter continental aged for 14 years more.
Interesting proximity to the (almost legendary) 2001 profile, but the taste experience on the palate tends to be very spicy and tart. Intense, complex, unfortunately without the final balance.
Typischer Fiji, eher auf der adstringierenden Seite.
Kryddig o söt smak, lite kort på slutet
