Fiji Rum & Co Planteray Fiji Islands (Kilchoman Cask) 2009

Peated-whisky fans will feel at home here more than rum purists: a Fiji rum finished in Kilchoman casks, so peat, smoke and campfire run from the nose right through the dry, tannic finish. Underneath there's banana, dried fruit, allspice and burnt oak, but the Fiji ester character stays mostly buried. One taster loves it, the next finds it too smoky by half.

Heavily peated, smoke-driven, whisky-cask Fiji Divisive. The Islay-style peat and smoke dominate, often burying the Fiji rum underneath. Peat lovers rate it high; several felt the whisky cask simply took over.

8,5:On the nose, esters and banana, green fruits, peated whisky notes like peat, smoke, camp fire, mineral, medicinal notes, herbaceous, flowery molasses, roasted wood notes like caramel, chocolate, spicy with allspice, bump into our nosetrils, quite intense. On aeration, it becomes buttery with vanilla, pastry, the wood and rubber are burnt, charred, dried fruits arise, grassy(hay), fresh molasses with tea, nicely balanced. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is strong with peated whisky finish notes like peat, smoky, salty, the wood is charred, sweet, creamy, caramelized, also toasted, spicy with allspice, rubber burnt, bacon is here, the molasses mineral, grassy with hay, flowery, herbaceous, later earthy with tobacco, vegetal, with black tea, dried fruits and banana are delicious. 7,9:The finish is medium long, intense, dry&tannic, with burnt, smoky, toasted oak notes, spicy and peated whisky finish, pairing cognac finish dried fruits, grapes and tropical fruits. Edit:8.5.26.

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.

La Maison Ferrand s’essaye à associer rhum et whisky tourbée, ce qui n’est pas chose aisée, et cela s’en ressent dès les premiers instants du nez qui est très tourbé. C’est fumé, boisé, puissant, et certainement pas aidé avec les esters et la facette médicinale des rhums fidjiens, dont le profil est ici quand même bien caché. Soit on aime, soit on déteste. L’attaque en bouche est vive, on ressent toute la puissance du whisky avec la tourbe et les notes fumées qui anesthésient le palais. Mis à part quelques épices et des fruits secs, le rhum est absent de la partition. Les 4 ans de vieillissement ont eu raison du rhum, totalement supplanté, alors qu’une légère finition aurait été amplement suffisant avec le kilchoman, réputé comme un whisky puissant. L’alcool est assez vif, surtout avec la partie whisky, qui va en rebouter plus d’un. La finale est très persistante, toujours aussi intensément tourbée, très sèche et limite asphyxiante. Quelques notes boisées et brûlées se font également ressentir. Un profil difficile d’approche si on aime pas le whisky, le rhum est hélas méconnaissable et l’ensemble manque d’intégration et de cohérence.

The whisky finish dominates and overpowers everything. The base spirit is no longer recognizable. Unfortunately, not my thing.

7.2/10

Ex-whiskey cask finishes in rum are always a tricky affair – they usually shape the overall gustatory picture very comprehensively. Here too, the peaty-smoky aroma is omnipresent and accompanies the tasting experience from the nose all the way to the finish. Not unpleasant, but once again only really for fans of peat and smoke, although the overall profile still manages to offer some sweetness and fruity notes.

Rökig, tobak, en del vanilj. På tok för rökig för min smak. Vill jag dricka något rökigt föredrar jag en rökig whisky framför en rökig rom. Lite som att tugga på en fuktig skosula.
