    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members highlight the Marsala wine influence: sweet spice, raisin‑red wine tones and dark chocolate over warm oak. Many find it smooth at 52% with a medium‑long, peppery finish, enjoyable neat or on the rocks—and even unique in a mixer. While several note the Fiji character is muted and complexity modest, it’s a rising community pick with 49 reviews praising its tasty, wood‑driven profile.

    This is the post-tasting of the Plantation Masterclass I missed. This is now the 7th rum from it and I've reached the point where I can hardly detect any differences between the Spanish-style rums I've tasted. Again, I can taste coconut and detect only moderately well-integrated alcohol.

    Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. A positive surprise for me at this tasting. Not 100% what I imagine a typical Fiji to be, but still a success.

    Nice and fruity on the nose but also alcoholic. Also slightly alcoholic on the palate and reminds me of Central American-style rums. The finish is quite short and is also more in the Zacapa style. Average rum and not necessarily recognizable as Fiji.

    Very tart, a lot of barrel. But an interesting rum. There's not much left of the Fiji profile due to the finish. Would have blindly guessed a Panama from Ron del Artesano, they also like to have such a barrel influence.
