Cane Rum Bottling Company South Pacific Single Cask Rum 2002
Petrol and dry wood up front, with papaya, faint varnish and a whisper of coconut underneath — this is Fiji at its most astringent, and the people here mean that as a compliment. Distilled in 2002 and split between tropical and continental aging, it lands intense, spicy and a little herbal-bitter on the palate. At 61% it needs a long rest in the glass to settle. Not a first rum.

Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Dry, astringent Fiji with petrol and wood Most tasters find it genuinely interesting — dry, woody Fiji with real complexity. A couple note the palate tips too far into spicy-bitter and never fully balances.

Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a very interesting rum. Hadn’t expected something like this from Fiji. Tasted this at a special tasting at Rum Cane Society (CRS) in Stockholm, which is the rum bar in Europe with most different rum bottlings. The Cane Bottling Co. is a Swedish IB founded and owned by Lars Renbjer and Niklas Blomquist, the latter co-owner of CRS. The rum is a 21yo Pot Still blended with some column still from the South Pacific Distillery in Fiji. It’s tropical aged for 7 years on former bourbon casks and thereafter continental aged for 14 years more.
Review by Jakob
Interesting proximity to the (almost legendary) 2001 profile, but the taste experience on the palate tends to be very spicy and tart. Intense, complex, unfortunately without the final balance.
Review by Robin Törnqvist
Very different (wood flavor? 🤔) at first but once you get used to the flavors, it's really nice.
Review by Claes Nilsson
Kryddig o söt smak, lite kort på slutet
Review by Johannes
Typischer Fiji, eher auf der adstringierenden Seite.
