This Fijian vintage is dedicated to Soneel Raj and Mike Spencer, as well as the team at the Rum Co. of Fiji, as a testament to a collaboration built on the transmission of expertise, mutual respect, and a shared vision of rum. This vintage thus highlights the work carried out in Fiji and the unique character of this Pacific terroir.
This vintage rum was distilled in 2007 at the Rum Co. of Fiji , from molasses fermented for 4 to 5 days . It was then distilled in a pot still , a traditional method that yields a distillate rich in compounds and character.
Its aging process spans a total of 18 years . The rum initially spent 14 years in the tropical climate of Fiji, in ex-Bourbon casks . The casks were then moved to France to continue maturing for an additional 4 years in a continental climate, in Ferrand casks .
This double maturation between tropical and continental climate is an emblematic characteristic of Planteray's expertise and allows the rum to continue its evolution in two distinct environments.
Its technical data sheet shows 190 g/hL AA of esters and 851 g/hL AA of congeners .
This bottling is limited to 888 bottles .
