South Pacific Plantation Fiji One-Time

"I definitely like it better than the latest one time fiji bottling from plantation. Cognac cask and Fiji glue battle a bit on the palate, a nice rum with a very fair price for the release. Retasting in the Rumx calendar Nice pleasing Fiji rum which I scored a little better blind, so I'm raising the score here by one point. Great plv for the release."

"Edit: tried again as a warm-up for the REV 2006 series. Remains a nice sipper, but nothing more Day 2 RumX Advent calendar All in all a solid rum. Not bad in taste, more in the easy sipper category. A nice entry-level rum for me. Blindly, I wouldn't have put it in the Fiji category. But thanks for the selection, I would probably never have tried it or looked out for a sample."

"Nachgeholtes Tasting des Rums vom 02.12.2023 des RumX-Adventskalenders: Netter Easy Sipper. Fast ein bisschen langweilig. Erst recht für einen Karfreitag."

"Vanilla, some toasted wood, honey, chamomile notes, a hint of fruit. Pleasing, but a little too weak on the chest - in my opinion, there is too little aromatic depth overall."

"Rather discreet Fiji. Fruity, woody and vanilla. Not very complex. Surprising nonetheless, as it doesn't have the usual esters of the Fijian rums I know. Very affordable. Nice, but nothing more. Lacks length."

"I have had much better Fijis in my glass (most recently the outstanding LMDW 2001), but I must also say that the one-time limited bottlings from Plantation offer good value for money."

"RumX Advent calendar Day 2 Disappointing rum, little going on there. A bit of coconut, nuts and vanilla. At first I thought about some awful continental aged FS I had in the past, but pairing this one performed even worse. Not a bad taste, simply nothing to be noted here and not enough to get a positive evaluation"

"Had a great Plantation tasting experience yesterday and here is the second one of the six we had a go at. This is an impressive rum from Fiji that deserves people give it a chance. I will definitely add this one to my shelf. It could have been a little more complex but still a very good rum. Watch out for South Pacific Destillery in the future, I think they will make more great ones. Price to quality is very good. "

"This one is not my favorite. For a fiji relatively flat, tastes more like neutral alcohol, not typical of Fiji."

"Part four of my Fiji session! Here I save myself a detailed evaluation! Is the nose initially still pleasantly fruity..he loses extremely on the palate and in the finish...there is virtually nothing left...it all seems pretty flat and one-dimensional! Too bad, this is disappointing"

"#24DaysOfRum2023 - Day 2 On the nose initially extremely light. Some citrus, some spice, some sweet espresso. I thought it would be a good idea to let it breathe for a bit, to develop some more potent aromas, but in a matter of minutes it turned completely flat. Alcohol-soaked cardboard, not much else. No amount of agitation could reawaken it. Luckily a little more fullness on the palate, but still too one-dimensional and with little to no complexity. The cognac influence is a tad too overpowering, and as a result the Fiji soul is overran by the malty sweetness. The finish is short and cloyingly sweet. Checking other reviews I notice scores with high variance. I’m dumbfounded."

"RumX Adventskalender 2023 Tag 2"

"Recht unaufgeregter Rum, der nicht wirklich einem typischen SPD entspricht. Anfangs noch angenehm süß mit Vanille & Röstaromen wird er nach hinten raus leicht bitter & pfefferig. Wenig aufregendes mit einem kurzen Finish (zum Glück?) selbst als Sipper zu kantig und unbalanciert, daher fällt er für mich durch."

"Recht nichtssagend"

"RX Advent 23 day 2 Was pretty confident that the rum comes somewhere from Latin America. Quite sweet, with some chocolate vanilla and coffee notes. Abv quite light, doesnt have the distinctive burned plastic notes I know from couple of other SPD releases that I tried before."
