The Belgian independent bottler The Whisky Jury presents a sophisticated and exclusive expression of Fijian rum from the South Pacific Distillery . Distilled in 2009 and bottled at cask strength, this expression offers a wild, complex, and decidedly exotic take on Fijian rum.

On the nose: a deep vegetal character, blending fresh herbs, bark, candied citrus, and a hint of medicinal notes. On the palate: a clean and structured attack, where the sugarcane takes on a peppery, mineral quality, with hints of resin, dried fruit, and black tea. The finish is long, elegant, almost tannic, and affirms the distinctive character of this connoisseur's rum.

A rare and radical bottling, for lovers of rums off the beaten track.
