The Plantation Rum Fiji Islands Kilchoman Peated Maturation 2009 is an exceptional limited edition that combines two fascinating worlds of the art of spirits - tropical rum from Fiji and smoky single malt whisky from Scotland. This special rum was distilled in 2009 and then refined in a two-stage maturation process that makes it a true rarity.
First, the rum matured in American oak barrels in the tropical climate of Fiji, developing intense aromas of exotic fruits, vanilla and caramel. It was then taken to France, where it was given an exclusive finish in former Kilchoman whisky barrels - barrels that previously contained the characteristic peaty Islay smoke. This unique combination of rum and peated whisky cask maturation gives Plantation Fiji 2009 an unmistakable profile with deep complexity, fine smokiness and harmonious sweetness.
With an alcohol content of 49.6% vol., this rum is powerful, aromatic and perfectly balanced. Bottled in natural color and without chill filtration, it stands for authentic enjoyment and the highest quality, as you would expect from Maison Ferrand and the Plantation Rum brand.
