South Pacific Plantation One-Time Limited Edition 2009

Je n'avais pas de grandes attentes, mais le nez est plutôt bon : léger ester, fruits doux avec une légère note florale. Mais en bouche, il est trop fin... et les arômes ne sont que faiblement perceptibles. C'est d'abord la douceur qui domine, puis le fût. La finale est relativement courte.

Fruité et doux avec du caramel et des épices. J'aurais aimé un taux d'alcoolémie plus élevé.

Bon rapport qualité-prix. Bon Fidji !

Fidji en demi-teinte. J'ai nettement préféré le One Time 2005.

Eh bien, trop sucré et trop unidimensionnel pour moi. Le fruit est là mais il manque déjà d'épices. L'alcool n'est pas très bien intégré non plus et se fait sentir en dessous de 50 degrés.

Tasted against the Master Of Malt Fiji 13yr 2009. The MoM is clearly superior in nose, taste and complexity. This rum is still very nice and has some fruity flavours but it is smoothed out and sweeter. It has more wood and vanilla influence. I think it would be a crowd pleaser as it is very approachable but as a result it tends towards averageness which I find a shame when it is the variety in rum which is really fun.

Un peu de funk doux avec des notes boisées et chocolatées en fin de bouche, pas de brûlure alcoolique, agréable à déguster !

Nez fruité. Belle noix de coco brûlée en bouche et en finale.

Fiji marker present ! A very interesting nose but on the other hand in mouth it is flat and alcohol which is really present. Disappointment

Black tea and toasted coconut all the way through. Flowery on the nose. Fruits and esters are dominant in comparison to the wood. There’s even a little volatility to this. The taste is woodier than expected. Subtle rubber and maybe even some petroleum. It’s intricate, but the cognac influence is too present. This has also been watered down and as a result it’s slightly too thin for me. Pretty good daily sipper.

Nez très boisé sur la vanille / bouche forte mais tellement longue !!

Les marqueurs Fidji sont là, le fût de cognac pourrait en apporter trop.

My 100th review! 🥳 The nose is alot less fruit forward than expected from the official tasting notes. Woody and roasted with a red fruit/cherry hit on the back. Reminds me of a cherry flapjack. The palate is a medium on the dry to sweet scale. There's definitely signs of age with big barrel notes. But this is balanced out with papaya and a bitter orange towards the finish. The finish is long and there's a sweetness that's only really present here. Papaya still and the bitter orange. Possibly a hint of tobacco. Overall, it's delightful. Very well balanced. Benefits from a drop of water but once it opens up it's devine.

The nose is fruity and fresh. The palate is vanilla, caramel and butterscotch with fruity background. Finish was longer than expected. I enjoyed it very much.

Good but nothing more, fuity with notes of caramelized coconut, slightly spicy and woody. Alcohol Quite present medium length
