Bounty Fiji Rum Premium Overproof Rum. It might well be the case that we never see this rum for sale in Europe (or the US). It seems to say firmly in the Oceania area of the Southern Hemisphere.
So when I saw this on an Auction site I was quite determined to get it. I was pleasantly surprised to pick it up for £40. I’ve tried a few Independently bottled Fiji rums but never an official bottling.
Cadenhead’s FSPD is another Cask Strength bottling from in their Dated Distillation range. This time hailing from the South Pacific Distillery, Fiji.
To date I haven’t tried a lot of rum from Fiji. The only Fijian rum reviewed thus far have been Independently bottled from Berrys’ and Ultimatum. The Berrys’ rum was considerably younger than this one at only 8 years old. The Ultimatum more similar in terms of age, at 12 years old.
Ultimatum Rum Fiji Secret Distillery is not quite as mysterious as it sounds. There is currently only one working commercial distillery on Fiji. So its not really much of a secret.
Rums from Fiji have been popping up all over the place over the past year. Many independent bottlers have been picking up and releasing Fijian rums. The distillery is actually the South Pacific Rum distillery.
A step into the familiar Berrys’ or Berry’s Bros & Rudd, alongside the unfamiliar in a Fijian rum. Quite what to expect from an 8 Year Old Fijian rum I am not sure.
As it is coming from a well respected Independent bottler it should at the very least be an authentic style of rum so it should have some redeeming features.
