Planteray Fiji (Umeshu Cask Finish) 2004
The umeshu (Japanese plum wine) cask is what makes this odd and worth trying: plum and dark jam sit next to coffee, cocoa and a little tobacco, with a salty-sour tang from the ume finish that keeps it from turning sweet. This 20-year Fiji stays rounded and mild despite 48.5%. A few tasters flag a "Foursquare light" feel — polished, not funky.

Review by Andzin
Great combination after Ume. My top Fiji expression.. Very Unusual but still does not hide origin and on next level. Try it!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Great experiment with the umeshu finish! Notes of coffee beans, dark chocolate and some tobacco remain from the Fiji rum, which is complemented by juicy, salty and sour notes from the ume sake cask. A successful experiment and not too sweet.
Review by Thomas Renoud
Warm, confort, cacao, coco, chocolate, are we in Barbados territory ? Then the umeshu dries your mouth as when you eat a plum that is not ripe enough.

Review by Johannes
Really exciting! Another really successful experiment! Apricot, peach, lychee, but fortunately not too sweet. Really good!
