Plantation 2005 Fiji Islands 15yo 50.2% 700ml information

The Plantation 2005 Fiji Islands 15yo rum is a limited-edition release from the renowned Cognac house, Maison Ferrand. This exceptional rum was distilled in 2005 at the South Pacific Distillery, now known as Rum Co. of Fiji, and matured for 14 years in the tropical climate of Fiji before being transported to France for an additional year of aging in French oak casks. This meticulous process results in a uniquely balanced and complex spirit.

The rum boasts a pleasantly regulated strength that joyfully fills the palate. It begins with a light, sweet attack that envelops the peppery notes, tingling on the taste buds. The wood aromas, soaked in ripe fruits, add a smooth balance to the otherwise roasted character. Upon aeration, additional fruit notes such as ripe peaches and apricots emerge, bridging the gap between white pears and velvety mango. A pronounced toasted oak flavor is present, well-soaked in mirabelle for added richness.

This rum showcases a light, floral profile with fresh fruits like pears and lychees, which gradually become riper and more exotic. This is followed by a subtle caramelized wood tone that gently covers the fruity notes with sweet spices and vanilla. On the nose, aromas of crème brûlée, lemon meringue pie, and orange zest are prominent, followed by roasted nuts. The palate offers notes of vanilla, meringues, walnuts, menthol, and oak that linger in the finish.

This 15-year-old rum is a true testament to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of Plantation Rums. Its distinct character and rich flavor profile make it a remarkable addition to any collection.

Reviewer's opinion

Overall, reviewers have found this rum to be an impressive addition to the Plantation lineup. Many appreciate its unique balance of fruity and spicy notes, with the distinct tropical fruit flavors being a highlight. Some have noted that it is a bit sweeter than they prefer, possibly due to added sugar, but it remains a well-regarded sipper with a pleasant, long-lasting finish. Comparisons have been made to other renowned rums, and it has been praised for its quality relative to its price. While some find it lacks the typical funk of Fiji rums, others enjoy its more rounded and approachable profile. A few reviewers suggest that letting the rum rest enhances both its aroma and taste, making it an even more enjoyable experience.
