Planteray Isle of Fiji Rum

Planteray Isle of Fiji is an ode to one of the most remote and pristine rum-producing locations on earth — a South Pacific expression that conjures images of lush volcanic jungles and crystal lagoons in every pour. Crafted from hand-cut Fijian sugarcane grown in rich volcanic soil and nourished by some of the purest water on earth at the Rum Co. of Fiji — the island's only distillery, founded in 1980 in the township of Lautoka on Viti Levu — 95% of the cane is cut by hand as it grows in the mountainous environment. A unique double-aging process defines the character: first aged in ex-bourbon casks in Fiji's tropical climate, then sailed to southwest France for a second maturation in ex-Ferrand Cognac casks — two climates, two cask types, one extraordinarily unique rum. The nose is intense and genuinely unusual — molasses, pear, and varnish giving way to apple, banana, gooseberry, nutmeg, vanilla, and a hint of smoke — distinctive enough that tasters compare it simultaneously to Jamaican rum and rhum agricole without being quite either. The palate is rich and round with vanilla fudge, honey, ginger, and fruity notes of prune and coconut — finishing very long on dried banana, bourbon, and allspice. Bottled at 40% ABV. A special rum that makes you want to explore somewhere new. Buy Planteray Isle of Fiji Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.
