South Pacific Plantation Fiji Islands - Single Cask Kilchoman Finish 2009
Most love the bold peat, smoke and whisky character layered over Fiji fruit. Critics find the whisky finish overpowering and un-rum-like. Consensus: a well-made, polarizing peat experiment.
Peated whisky drinkers and rum enthusiasts who enjoy high-smoke, iodine-and-bacon notes layered over funky, fruity Fiji molasses distillate and want a limited, conversation-starting bottle.

Rum on the side! It smells like fermented molasses with lots of fruit flavors and the palate yo-yo's on the peat, with great length. So the bottle was almost empty, but great product. I don't understand the low scores!
Auto-translatedWow, what a slap in the face! The whisky rum mix is crazy! To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Smoky, Phenolic Mouth: Peat, Smoke, Intense, Dry, Bacon Finish: Peat, Smoke, Tropical fruit
Auto-translatedI just can't do anything with whiskey finishes. However, this one is well done and fits the concept.
Auto-translatedGekauft ohne zu wissen, dass der ein Whisky finish hat. Hier fällt es aber zum Glück weniger negativ auf als sonst. In der Nase ist der Rum noch zu erkennen auch wenn Jod und Torf die Nase dominieren. Dabei sind sie aber nicht zu extrem und lassen Raum für fruchtige Apfelnoten. Im Mund komme ich dann aber gar nicht mehr hinterher. Der torfige Whisky verschmischt sich mit den estern des Rums und erzeugt eine komplexe aber fast überfordernde Palette miteinander konkurrierender Noten. Neben dem Whisky bleibt dabei aber vor allem Bitterkeit die euphemistisch ausgedrückt in Richtung Grapefruit gehen könnte. Überdurchschnittlich gut für ein Whisky finish aber dennoch nicht mein Fall.
