Berry Bros. & Rudd Fiji 2010 12 Year Old Rum Cask No. 18 (70cl)

This is a 12-year-old Fijian rum distilled in 2010 and bottled by Berry Bros. & Rudd under cask number 18. Sugar cane is indigenous to Fiji and grows wild, though its importance as a crop was not realised until 1870 when cotton prices slumped; commercial rum production is thought to have begun about twenty years later. The rum is a hybrid of Jamaican-style tropical funk and agricole-like synthetic fruit. On the palate it offers linseed oil, pineapple, cream soda-like vanilla and beeswax.
