Plantation
Isle Of Fiji Double Barrel Rum

Category: Rum (Aged 3 years or less)

Date Tasted:
Country: Fiji
Alcohol: 40%
Gold color. Aromas and flavors of flambéed banana, caramel and butterscotch, madagascar vanilla and sweet tobacco, and grilled pineapple with chocolate sauce with a velvety, dryish medium body and a long finish displaying notes of grilled bananas with vanilla caramel and chocolate sauce, brown butter caramel, cinnamon and nutmeg, and leather and tobacco. Light and ethereal tones of the sugar cane mixed with rich characteristics of the barrel aging make this a genuinely delightful sipper.

Rum Aged 3 years or less

Añejo and Age-Dated Rums are aged Rums from different vintages or batches that are mixed together to insure a continuity of flavor in brands of Rum from year to year. Some aged Rums will give age statements stating the youngest Rum in the blend (e.g., 10-year-old Rum contains a blend of Rums that are at least 10 years old). A small number of French island Rums are Vintage Dated.
