Planteray Fiji (Umeshu Cask Finish)

A confident Fiji rum that marries dark, earthy notes with an umeshu-induced, tart and salty fruitiness. One to try if you like a tobacco-and-plum edge.

Dark, fruity, and dry—an unusual Fiji, well worth a sip.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Great combination after Ume
    • Very well rounded and smooth
    • Not too sweet

    Planteray Fiji Umeshu Cask Finish brings a mix of coffee, dark chocolate, and tobacco alongside a tart, salty-sour plum twist—the umeshu cask showing up without masking its Fijian roots. Users highlight it as a "great combination after Ume. My top Fiji expression" (@Andzin) and call the experiment "richtig spannend" (@Johannes), finding ripe fruit notes on both the nose and palate. Salty, chocolatey, and just tart enough, several members agree it's well-rounded and surprisingly not too sweet for this kind of cask finish.

    "Great experiment with the umeshu finish! Notes of coffee beans, dark chocolate and some tobacco remain from the Fiji rum, which is complemented by juicy, salty and sour notes from the ume sake cask. A successful experiment and not too sweet."

    "Warm, confort, cacao, coco, chocolate, are we in Barbados territory ? Then the umeshu dries your mouth as when you eat a plum that is not ripe enough."
