Isle of Fiji is tropical rum at its most expressive, born from fertile volcanic soil, pure island water, and a culture that treats rum as a living craft. Opening this bottle feels like stepping into a Fijian rainforest after rainfall: warm humidity, ripe fruit everywhere, and sunlight breaking through the green canopy. It’s a rum that carries the spirit of the islands straight to the glass.

Plantation Double Aged Rum – Isle of Fiji
Brand: Plantation | Category: Aged Rum | ABV: 40% | Origin: Fiji | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Overripe banana, tropical fruit, honey, vanilla, and soft spice, like walking through a fruit market surrounded by warm sugarcane breezes.
Palate: Smooth, fruity, and wonderfully layered. Notes of pineapple, dried mango, caramel, molasses, coconut, and gentle oak unfold with a velvety warmth. The texture is rich yet balanced, showing both island earthiness and refined sweetness.
Finish: Long and tropical with lingering banana, spice, and caramelized fruit in a warm, clean fade.

Production Details:
Distilled in Fiji from local sugarcane, the rum is first aged in the island climate, where heat and humidity intensify flavor. It is then shipped to France for a secondary maturation in French oak, a signature Plantation technique that adds polish, structure, and gentle spice. The result is a rum that feels both wildly tropical and beautifully refined.

Perfect For:
Slow evenings, outdoor gatherings, or moments when you want a rum that tastes like a tropical escape. It’s equally at home in a premium cocktail or poured neat after dinner.

Expert Notes:
Rum experts praise Isle of Fiji for its bold fruit-forward profile and its ability to showcase true Fijian terroir. The double-aging process elevates the tropical notes, making it a favorite among drinkers who want character without heaviness.

Customer Reviews:
“Rich, fruity, and super smooth. Fiji rum hits different.”
“Great balance of sweet tropical notes and oak spice.”
“One of my favorite Plantation bottles. Beautifully expressive.”

Interesting Fact:
Fiji’s volcanic soil creates uniquely flavorful sugarcane, giving the rum its signature ripe-fruit intensity before it ever touches a barrel.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat brings out its rich tropical layers. Over a large ice cube, the fruit becomes brighter and fresher. In cocktails, it shines in a Mai Tai, Rum Old Fashioned, or even a simple rum and pineapple with a squeeze of lime.

Distillery Background:
Planteray (formerly Plantation) works closely with distillers across the global rum belt, respecting local methods while adding French refinement through secondary aging. Their Fijian expressions capture the raw beauty of island rum, bold, fruity, and unmistakably shaped by the Pacific climate.
