2014 Vintage Column Still Rum

2014 Vintage Column Still Rum

From the first rum distillery founded in Fiji, this is a column still rum, made with molasses from a local heritage cane varietal. After a year ageing in American oak on the island, the rum spent a decade in ex-bourbon casks in Scotland.

"Fiji is an exciting, but relatively new player on the global rum map. This is a fine example of how column still rum can have great character if it’s distilled carefully with quality in mind instead of volume - especially when it’s aged well, as this is."​

Tasting Notes

Nose

Lightly toasted banana and rye bread. That’s counterbalanced by delicate citrus – lemon and orange zest with mild honey and vanilla.

Palate

I find it warm, with ripe easy peel oranges alongside pepper over cloudy honey on salted buttered bread. Orange oil with rich vanilla cream.

Finish

Lingering spice and pepper, with orange blossom honey.

“This shows off the huge spectrum of Jamaican rum. Instead of the strong overripe fruit flavours of famous ‘high-ester’ styles, this goes for a more complex approach. A traditional ‘double-retort’ pot still helps make it crisp and precise but with depth: banana bread with orange and spice. To highlight that complexity, we matured this without much cask influence.”

“I find Nordic whisky’s experimental approach really exciting - especially the approach to grain at Thy. This has a mash bill of organically grown rye, spring barley and, unusually…spelt. It’s that last ingredient which gives the whisky a honeyed nuttiness to balance the spice, pepper, orange and herbal notes from the rye.”
