Plantation Rum Fiji 2007 Antipodes

Plantation Rum Fiji 2007 Antipodes is a molasses rum distilled in a pot still. It was matured in a tropical then continental climate, spending 14 years in bourbon casks in Fiji before a further year in cognac casks in France at Maison Ferrand. It comes from a long fermentation of one week and has an ester level of 168 grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol. Extremely concentrated, its aromatic and gustatory palette finds balance through a marvellous alternation of oxidative sequences (sherry vinegar), heady notes (wild geranium), empyreumatic notes (tar) and gourmand notes (rum baba).
