Plantation Isle of Fiji

Sugarcane is the primary aroma I get from the bottle. From the glass it's the same, with green banana and some Jamaican funk. Flavors are banana, funk, and baking spice. Not a memorable sipper but not bad, either. Goes best as a mixer.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of funky rums, but this is what they’re talking about. It is weird but delicious: banana sweetness pineapple and very different.

COLOUR: Copper still. LEGS: Thin, watery, messy clothesline; no real legs developed, but there was a loose and general moistening of the glass. NOSE: Delicate (2/5); sugary sweet tropical fruit; coconut; juicy over-ripe mangoes, etc.; sunblock lotion; Sharpie marker; mangrove swamp; floral perfume; slight citrus; herbal; wet leaves. WITH WATER (5 drops into 15mL): more Sharpie and tropical fruit; lots of sweetness. Score 8/10 TASTE: Powerful; thick and mouth-coating; rich; very sweet; ripe tropical fruits; vanilla; very sharp and tart; delicious, satisfying, and morish. WITH WATER: smoother and gentler; the flavours are subdued. Score 9.5/10 FINISH: Very long; mouth-coating; sweet; a little tannic burn; stays around for a long time with happy memories; I'll take this taste to bed with me. WITH WATER: sweeter and gentler; thinner; the burn disappears. Score 9/10 OVERALL: A very delicious and sweet sipping rum; excellent value for the money; best without water; put this one on auto-reload. Weighted Score 9.0/10 IMAGERY: Relaxing on a Fijian beach, with the local dance show going on, crashing waves, tropical breeze, rich aromas from the local fauna.
