Fiji Rum & Co Plantation Fiji Islands (Julhes) 2001
"Very much on the whisky" is how one taster put it, and that's the crux here: a 20-year Fiji pot-still whose funky rubber, overripe banana and glue notes get wrapped in a smoky, peaty whisky-cask finish. Several found the two harmonize nicely; others felt the whisky buried the Fiji character. Dry, spicy, oaky, with a long finish and little sweetness.
The community says- Long, complex finish
- Fiji rubber & banana
- Whisky can dominate

How does Fiji Rum & Co Plantation Fiji Islands (Julhes) 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 28 community reviews.
Smoky whisky-finished Fiji with rubbery funk Divides people: the smoky whisky finish either marries the Fiji funk beautifully or drowns it. Dry, spicy, big flavor. A few wished for a higher ABV.

Review by Michael Schillheim
In this Plantation bottling, the fiji flavors harmonize beautifully with the whiskey finish. I like very much.
Review by Jonas
The typical 2001 Fiji notes are there. Rubber gum gum gum. Of course it suffers from dilution, but either way a successful bottling and worth a purchase.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it has a very strong fruit presence with underlying floral, spice and oak notes. The aroma is quite strong and you will smell it beyond your glass in the room. Taste has a stronger spice and oak taste with fruit taking a back seat with mild underlying hints. There is a slightly bitter taste as it lacks the expected sweetness. The spice is very present with a little burn. Finish is very long and distinct with reasonable complexity. This is a very interesting rum release that is very much a flavour bomb overall. Nice sipping in small quantities. Do not pour a larger glass as it will be overwhelming. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose a dusty old warehouse. Taste reveals a mild bourbon that is slightly bitter with a short finish. Not really enjoyable mixed and would suggest on the rocks.

04-05.11.2022 Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival 2022. Another return to this big event where many people go to get drunk. Once again we had a special event for a select set of people. Notes. Pretty average release with a sweet touch. I think the major flaw is the low ABV, could have been a lot better with a higher ABV I think. Fruity and spicy with smoke and peat notes once rested.

There is not too much left of the Fiji here! The whiskey finish dominates too much

Unfortunately, the whiskey fish did not get him so well
