Fiji Rum & Co Planteray Pauillac Wine Cask 2017
Wine-cask curious drinkers who like their rum dry and spicy will get the most out of this one. Caramel and dried fruit lead, with leather, allspice and a firm woody, tannic grip; the 48.3% sits well hidden. The Pauillac finish shows more than the Fiji does — a couple of members struggled to find the distillery underneath. Pleasant spice, short dry finish.

- ABV well hidden

How does Fiji Rum & Co Planteray Pauillac Wine Cask 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Dry, spicy Fiji with a wine-cask lean Verdict lands middling: a dry, spicy sipper where the wine cask outshines the Fiji base. A few found it watered-down or artificially sweet; others call it a fine daily pour.

Review by LukaŽiga
8,0:On the nose, sandal wood, toasted with leather, caramel, spicy with allspice, vanilla, obvious wine, cognac barrel impact, citrus, dried fruits, grapes and banana, slightly sulphurous, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, red fruits, currants, dark berries arise, flowery, earthy molasses. 7,6:On the palate, the attack is thin, slightly sweet, buttery with toasted wood notes like caramel, nuts, brown sugar, leather, spicy vanilla, allspice, barrel impact is strong, as we notice tannins, dryness, the fruits are dried with currants, apricots, raisins, grapes, as the molasses is mineral, earthy, herbaceous, vegetal with dry red pepper. 7,2:The finish is short, dry and tannic, with rec wine and cognac notes. Edit:8.5.26
Review by Timo Groeger
Muss sagen, mir gefällt er recht gut. Hat am Gaumen eine wirklich angenehme Süße, wo vor allem Karamell erkennbar ist. Außerdem lassen sich noch ein Hauch Vanille und Holz erkennen hier. Finde die ist ein schöner dayli Sipper.
Review by Skyfly
Messebewertung. Krasser Fasseinfluss der mir leider nicht sonderlich zusagt. Wer auf intensiven Rotwein in Kombination mit sehr süßen und estrigen Rums steht kommt hier vielleicht auf seine Kosten. PLV sicher gut
Review by zabo
Also diese Planteray Kollektion war gar nicht mal so gut. Hab jetzt mal die ganzen Samples probiert, aber da war jetzt wirklich keiner dabei, den ich persönlich bräuchte und empfehlen würde. Alle wirken trotz der Verdünnung, verwässert und trotzdem meist alkoholisch und haben so eine künstliche Süße.
Review by Johannes
Surprisingly weak for a Fiji. The wine finish comes through, but I somehow can't recognize Fiji.
Review by ThreeH
Diesen Rum zusammen mit zwei weiteren aus der Planteray-Reihe verkostet. Einem Barbados im Apricot-Fass finish und einem weiteren Fiji im Peated Whiskey Fass finish. Dieser Fiji hat es für meinen Geschmack auf den zweiten Platz geschafft, weil hier das Fass die geringste Dominanz unter den drei Abfüllungen hat. Der Naseneindruck ist sehr unspezifisch und der ABV ist gut versteckt. Der Gaumeneindruck ist aromatischer. Eine durchaus schöne Würze und Holznote. Hätte ich ohne es zu wissen auf ein Pauillac-finish getippt? Nein. Die Abfüllung ist auf der trockenen Seite mit mittlerem würzig/holzigen Abgang.
Review by Jakob
Karamellsüsse, getrocknete Früchte, etwas Pfeffer und Nelke. Am Gaumen dazu mit leicht nussig anmutenden Würzaromen sowie dezenter Milchsäure aus dem Weinfass. Im Abgang überraschende Schärfe, die an Chili erinnert. Nicht unangenehm, aber leider insgesamt zu wenig ausgewogen.

#7282 02.09.2026 Relaxing with a few samples while watching a Bollywood action movie on Amazon prime. Pretty decent rum especially when looking at the price tag. Well rounded profile with fruits, roasted wood, chocolate, caramel, spice, leather, tobacco, tannins and caramel.
Review by StefanR
[German Rum Festival 2026] Der 2017 destillierte Column-Still-Rum reifte zunächst 3 Jahre in Bourbonfässern, danach 1 Jahr und 4 Monate in Ferrand-Cognacfässern und schließlich außergewöhnlich lange 3 Jahre und 6 Monate in einem Pauillac-Rotweinfass. Der Planteray Fiji Islands 2017 ist ein charaktervoller, fruchtbetonter Rum mit deutlichem Einfluss des Pauillac-Fasses. Überreife Ananas und kandierte Früchte verbinden sich mit Brombeeren, Vanille und dunkler Schokolade. Am Gaumen mild und leicht süßlich, zugleich sorgen Tannine, Holz und Gewürze für Struktur. Der herb-fruchtige Abgang wirkt trocken und elegant. Spannende Verbindung von tropischer Frucht und Rotweinfass. Das Pauillac-Finish ist hier der entscheidende Punkt: Es bringt deutlich mehr dunkle Beeren, Tannin und herbe Trockenheit ins Profil als man bei einem typischen Fiji-Rum erwarten würde. Kirsch Whisky hebt insbesondere Brombeeren und dunkle Waldbeeren hervor.
