Planteray Fiji (Umeshu Cask Finish) 2004
The umeshu (Japanese plum wine) cask is what makes this odd and worth trying: plum and dark jam sit next to coffee, cocoa and a little tobacco, with a salty-sour tang from the ume finish that keeps it from turning sweet. This 20-year Fiji stays rounded and mild despite 48.5%. A few tasters flag a "Foursquare light" feel — polished, not funky.
The community says- Unusual ume finish
- Rounded and smooth
- Keep in mind: Semi-sweet for some

How does Planteray Fiji (Umeshu Cask Finish) 2004 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Rounded 20-year Fiji with a plum-cask twist Members find it well rounded, smooth and genuinely unusual — the ume finish adds plum and a drying salty-sour note. Praised as a successful experiment, though it's semi-sweet rather than bold.

Great experiment with the umeshu finish! Notes of coffee beans, dark chocolate and some tobacco remain from the Fiji rum, which is complemented by juicy, salty and sour notes from the ume sake cask. A successful experiment and not too sweet.

Drank at Daniels in Lucerne, unfortunately consumed a bit too warm, making it a bit too rich. Otherwise a pretty good sipper, easy to drink, but for the price of almost 80 francs, it's not enough. Planteray has better rums on offer. (08/26)
Review by Timo Groeger
Phew, that's how the Planteray day ends today. Another rum for me with a delicious coffee note :-) Also plum and dark chocolate on the nose. On the palate then some oak as well as slightly peppery and salty. Solid rum.

Semi sweet Fiji
Review by Johannes
Really exciting! Another really successful experiment! Apricot, peach, lychee, but fortunately not too sweet. Really good!
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it is subtle and rounded with brown sugar, currents, mild oak and plum. Taste reveals plum, spices, oak and dark jam that is well rounded and unique. Finish is long with the plum and spice lingering with a mild tingle. It is quite enjoyable and makes for good conversation. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose
Review by Thomas Renoud
Warm, confort, cacao, coco, chocolate, are we in Barbados territory ? Then the umeshu dries your mouth as when you eat a plum that is not ripe enough.
Review by Andzin
Great combination after Ume. My top Fiji expression.. Very Unusual but still does not hide origin and on next level. Try it!
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
