Fiji Islands 2019 - 2024 Single Cask Planteray Rum

This is one of the rums from the Planteray Single Casks 2024 series.

Tasting note

Nose

The 2019 Fiji Islands opens with vibrant aromas of tropical fruits, including pineapple, mango and papaya, accompanied by a slight earthy tone and a subtle funk, characteristic of Fiji rums. There are also delicate hints of vanilla, toffee and a hint of citrus that balance the nose nicely.

Taste

On the palate, this rum offers a rich and complex taste experience. Bright fruit notes of juicy peach and ripe banana emerge first, followed by spicy accents of ginger and white pepper. Earthy funk and light mineral influences add depth to the flavour, while barrel ageing adds soft notes of vanilla and toasted oak, creating a creamy texture.

Finish

The finish is medium-long and slightly dry, with lingering fruity and spicy notes. A hint of smoke and oak lingers subtly, offering a refined and balanced finish. The Fiji Islands 2019 is an elegant and well-balanced rum that offers both sweetness and complexity.

Planteray Rum

Planteray Rum, formerly known as Plantation Rum, is a renowned rum producer focused on creating high-quality rums from all corners of the world. The brand, founded by Alexandre Gabriel, is a pioneer in the use of dual maturation techniques. The rums mature first in their tropical homelands, where they absorb the powerful influences of the local climate, and are then taken to Château de Bonbonnet in France for a second maturation period in French oak barrels. This double maturation creates a unique balance of rich, tropical flavours and refined, complex notes.

Planteray is known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. They use only the best sugarcane molasses and traditional distillation techniques. The brand has a wide range of expressions, from light, fruity rums to rich, deeply matured varieties. Praised worldwide for their complexity and depth, Planteray's rums are loved by rum lovers and cocktail connoisseurs alike for their versatility and unique flavour profiles.
