Best sipped neat and given time to open up — it shifts glass to glass. You get ripe tropical fruit, banana and a whiff of glue up front, then a smoky, single-malt whisky note that takes over the palate. Fans of that Fiji "workshop" funk crossed with whisky find it fascinating; others feel the finish tames the funk and reads a touch mild.

Fiji 2001 is a promise of a good rum, not infrequently an excellent rum. Plantation has an exclusive pre-purchase deal with South Pacific and so there was reason to believe that Plantation offers here great for little money. Long story short: unfortunately, no. The rum is tame despite an estercount in the Wedderburn range. The typical herbal Fiji markers, which actually harmonize well with whiskey, can hardly unfold. Instead, there is a vanilla sweetness familiar from the 2004s. In the mouth, the whiskey is then very present and partly covers the actual flavors. As is so often the case, Plantation has probably not done very good raw material any favors with the finish and the dilution. This Fiji 2001 nevertheless remains a good rum.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Tasted the Turicum bottling. Good nice bouquet (toasty, burnt notes). Finish lasts well: Mixture of whiskey and rum. Good complexity and good PLV. But far from other 2001 Fiji vintages. Imagine if it had more volume 🙄although Cask Strength is indicated. Somehow associations of a marinated Asian chicken skewer from the charcoal grill.
Review by RumTaTa
Nose: ahh, super fruity and if you do not know it, you notice nothing of whiskey finish. Because of the strong dilution, you can smell deep into the glass without the alcohol pinching. The palate reflects the impressions of the nose almost 1:1. Here I notice the influence of the whiskey finish more clearly. Finish is long and harmonizes with nose and palate. A very good bottling. I would have liked this rum but less or not diluted Tasted - that would certainly be a whole other house number!
Review by Mirco
Fiji 2001 are great rums, and this one is no exception. In terms of price and compared to other representatives of the 2001 vintage, especially with cask strength/without dilution, this rum is far too tame and mild... The starting material would certainly have been cool.
Review by Alex1981
Netter Fiji, which promises a lot on the nose but then takes on a strange flavor in the mouth. The barrel probably ruined a good base ingredient again. I don't understand why Planteray doesn't just leave the finer from the distillate...
Review by Agricoler
Right after pouring, in my opinion, the nose is a mix of typical Fiji notes like ester, plastic, etc. Also, the spiciness of the whisky is immediately present. Clearly, this rum divides opinions because of the finish. Since I enjoy whisky from time to time, I find the mix very exciting. On the palate and finish, neither the whisky nor the rum dominates clearly. The workshop feeling of Fiji remains. With more time in the glass, the rum becomes much rounder and really tasty 😋. Definitely a great discovery for me. You might want to ignore that this is a 2001 Fiji 😅. In my opinion, just an excellent product. Ordered another bottle.
Review by Johannes
A very relaxed, but nevertheless good and complex rum due to the reduction!
Review by Tafia Guildive
Better than expected, really like it! Great value for money, especially compared to current and completely overpriced alternatives in this category.
Review by Martin Spooner
Very balanced nose. In my opinion, coconut and beautifully sweet. The taste is clearly smoky and reminiscent of whiskey. A very aromatic palate. Strong finish in wood and whiskey ... medium long.
Review by Olfer
2001 Fiji, which is still the best fiji year, tropical aged for 19 years. What can went wrong? So a finish could mess it up. And yes, it is a Plantation, so I had expected it will be a mess. But a 2001 Fiji, i had to buy - no way out. There is not much nose but not bad either. Taste is flat, mostly you get the finish, but not in a complex way. A rather simple rum. Far away from TRC 2001, SBS 2009 or TCL 2014. Plantation should be sentenced for that, if you think about the other Fijis from 2001. But if you like an easy sipper sweet Whisky with some rummy taste, it will do it.
Review by Volkmar Weber
Fruity, almost sweet Fiji rum, which is somewhat curbed by finishes in ex-whisky barrels. The smoky flavors of the French whiskey leave a more coherent feeling than the rarely successful Islay whiskey finishes. Rum is a chameleon and each day ends with different results. Probably should be tasted again in a few months, it seems to react strongly with oxygen.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
The nose is interesting, but the rest is too marked by whisky, losing the fun of Fiji, and the finish is far too short. It's still pleasant and easy to drink, but I'm only moderately enthusiastic.
Review by Tyler L
This review is from my second tasting and it’s a little different than the first. Overall I like it better than my first taste. Spirits are funny like that. Enjoyably so. Nose is like many describe. Intense at the start, beginning with tropical fruit and banana. There’s a hint of smoke. (I seem to be smelling banana more and more with rums lately. Palate evolving I suppose) This is complex. I can detect the whisky influence for sure. The whisky notes become more assertive as it sits. Flavour is like it smells. Big ripe tropical fruit at the start with a beautiful transition to a nuanced nutty cereal type vibe that seesaws back and forth with the fruit again. The single malt really comes through after exhaling. I have read several reviews that refer to this as tasting diluted but that is not my personal impression. The finish is medium and on the dry side. It’s a more whisky like ending than rum. There’s a bit of a pleasant hum in my mouth as the rum dissipates with various barrel impressions.

Very advanced rum. Just I am probably not on that level yet...

Smells like glue but tastes smooth.
