A ten-year-old rum from South Pacific Distilleries in Fiji — a blend of pot and column still molasses spirit. Fiji is prized for its fruity, estery character, and here that base is wrapped in a generous Moscatel wine cask influence that steers the rum toward ripe orchard and tropical fruit. Matured to ten years and finished in Moscatel, it pours fruity and floral with dried apricot, pineapple, banana, vanilla, and a coffee edge, all set against resinous, piney wood with firm tannins. At 47% with no added sugar, it stays expressive but never aggressive, dialing back Fiji's high-ester intensity in favor of wine-led fruit — a rewarding way into the island for fans of sherried and wine-finished rums.
