Plantation Isle of Fiji

AN ODE TO THE BEAUTY OF THE FIJI ISLANDS

From the pristine lagoons to the lush jungles, Plantation Isle of Fiji is an ode to the beauty ofthe Fiji Islands.

This delicious rum is made using traditional techniques and local Fijian sugar cane. First aged in this tropical climate in bourbon casks, the rum is then sailed to the southwest of France for a second maturation in French oak casks.

This double ageing method paired with Fijian know-how creates a rum with warm notes of exotic fruits and raisin.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Intense, it starts on molasses, pear and varnish. It then becomes fruitier and spicier on apple, banana and gooseberry, also nutmeg and vanilla with a hint of smoke.

Palate: Rich and round, it follows the nose with vanilla fudge, honey, ginger and fruity notes of prune and coconut.

Finish: Very long on dried banana, bourbon and allspice.

Empty glass: Molasses, oak and allspice.

PERFECT SERVE

Isle of Fiji is a great sipping rum.

Plantation Rum

Plantation Rum is a well-known and respected brand name in the world of rum, owned by Maison Ferrand, a French company that also produces other spirits such as cognac and gin. The name "Plantation" refers to the traditional sugar cane plantations where rum was originally produced. Under the leadership of Alexandre Gabriel, who has run the company since the 1990s, Plantation Rum has developed into one of the leading brands in the premium rum category.

One of Plantation Rum's distinguishing features is the use of a double maturation technique. After the first maturation in the tropics, the rum is transported to France, where it undergoes a second maturation in former cognac barrels at Maison Ferrand. This double maturation adds complexity and depth to the rum's flavour profiles. Planteray is an alternative brand name used by Maison Ferrand from 2024 to adapt their branding to modern sensibilities. The content and craftsmanship remain the same, while maintaining an emphasis on quality and authenticity.
