Plantation One Time Limited Edition Fiji 2009 Rum

Plantation, now renamed Planteray, is the rum brand of Maison Ferrand, the Cognac house of Alexandre Gabriel, which buys aged rum from distilleries across the tropics and gives it a second maturation in its own cellars in the Charente. The One-Time Limited Edition series is exactly what it says: a single vintage from a single distillery, released once and never repeated. This one comes from the South Pacific Distillery in Lautoka on the island of Viti Levu, the only rum distillery in Fiji, which ferments molasses for four to five days and distills on pot stills to make an ester-rich spirit with a fruit-forward, lightly funky character that often gets compared to Jamaica. The rum was distilled in 2009 and aged thirteen years in total, first in ex-bourbon casks in Fiji and then in Ferrand's casks in Cognac, before bottling at 49.5% ABV. Plantation describes tropical fruit, toasted coconut, caramel and vanilla, and reviewers have found pineapple, mango, banana, quince and red apple with grapefruit peel, nutmeg, dark chocolate and a wisp of smoke, the Cognac cask softening the Fijian esters into something rounder. A bigger, older sibling to the Fiji 2009 Vintage Edition, meant for sipping neat.
