Valinch & Mallet South Pacific Single Cask SPD 2004 16yr 58,1%
The Single Cask SPD Rum, distilled in 2004 at Fiji's South Pacific Distillery and bottled by Valinch & Mallet, offers a unique tasting experience. Aged 16 years and boasting a robust 58.1% ABV, this limited edition of 227 bottles presents a diverse flavor profile. Users applaud its rich notes of dark chocolate, spicy fruits, and undertones of caramel and vanilla. However, some find it strays from traditional Fijian characteristics, leaning towards a lighter and more polished finish reminiscent of Trinidad rums. Its cask strength and limited availability make it intriguing to rum enthusiasts seeking a singular tasting journey. Though it impresses with its bold flavors, expectations for typical Fijian funk might remain unmet.

“A relatively sweet Fijian rum. The nose evokes a few medicinal flavors that are far from dominant. Apart from a perceptible alcoholic touch, exotic fruits, wood, chocolate, spices and sweet notes (caramel, sugar) form a fairly classic olfactory profile. The attack on the palate is more incisive. There's a certain heaviness on the palate and a syrupy texture. The profile remains dominated by woody flavors, chocolate, exotic fruits, spices, nuts and caramel. The alcohol is well integrated, though not completely unnoticed. The length on the palate is correct. The calm of the nose is restored, with similar flavors. Warmth and toastiness on the finish are not unpleasant. All in all, a very respectable Single Cask, but one that lacks the expression and depth to be at the top of its class, both for its terroir and for its bottler.”

“A pretty good Fiji rum that surprised me with a light rubber not on both nose and palate. The nose is fruity with some wood, spice and a light rubber not, made me very excited to test on the palate. The palate is medium intense but nice with fruit, wood and spices trailed by caramel and again that light runner note. The finish is medium long to long with wood, fruits and spices.”

“I didn’t take any notes at the Rhum Fest so a more detailed review will follow as soon as I get the chance to sample this rum again in a better context.”
