Planteray Isle of Fiji Rum (75cl, 40%)

Planteray Isle of Fiji Rum is a 40% ABV double-aged rum from the South Pacific Distillery in Lautoka, Fiji. Molasses from hand-cut Fijian sugarcane is fermented for four to five days and distilled in a pot-and-column blend. It matures for about two to three years in ex-bourbon casks in Fiji's tropical climate, then for a further year in ex-Ferrand Cognac casks in southwest France. The Plantation name became Planteray in 2024, while the rum remained unchanged. It shows tropical fruit and vanilla from the Fiji years, with dried fruit, toasted nuts and polished oak roundness from the Cognac-cask finish, plus pot-still aromatics and a long, gently sweet finish.
