Rum & Co Plantation Islands 2001

Rum & Co Plantation Islands 2001 is a single cask Fiji Rum & Co bottling from Maison Ferrand, the house behind the Plantation range. Distilled on pot still and drawn from the 2001 vintage, it pairs Fiji's signature estery fruit with an unexpected whisky crossover character.

The nose is fruit forward, with banana, dried apricot, tropical fruit and caramel, while the palate brings smoky, nutty cereal notes that nod toward single malt alongside the island esters. At 45.8% and unsweetened, it stays relaxed and easy to drink without losing its fruity backbone, finishing on spice, wood and a fruity, whisky tinged warmth. A characterful, gentler Fiji that suits slow evenings and appeals to drinkers who enjoy the overlap between rum and malt whisky.
