One taster called it "really nothing special," and a lot of members land there too — but plenty enjoy it. Expect butterscotch and caramel wrapped in light glue and solvent, some smoky wood, pineapple and a spicy, drying finish. A mild, mid-weight Fiji that a few compare to a softer Hampden. Tastes gently sweetened, in typical Plantation style.
The community says- Butterscotch-caramel note
- Fruity, easy sipping
- Keep in mind: Glue on finish

How does South Pacific Plantation Fiji Vintage 2009 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Mild, caramel-and-glue Fiji, splits opinion Divides the room: some find it balanced, fruity and easy for the money, others call it light and unremarkable. Common gripes are the glue note on the finish and a slightly thin body.

I am always fascinated by this absolutely round and great fiji rum. Fruity. Vanilla caramel. Everything is there. The alcohol strength is good and not too weak as you might think at first. I definitely recommend buying it here

Too much Pritt pen, and not in a good way....
Review by heckto🥃
A well-balanced fruity Fiji rum. I like the woody-sweet note paired with caramel-vanilla. The only thing I don't like is the somewhat tangy sticky taste in the finish. Nevertheless, a good choice in this price range.

#6350 Enjoying a few samples while watching the Eco-Challenge Fiji, man those racers are tough. Pretty good when looking at the price tag, but also kind of light in the profile. The roasted wood is mixed with some nutts, pear, caramel and dried fruits. The palate is nice and spicy. Needs to rest for a while or the ABV will bite you.
Review by Godspeed
Had this at a restaurant with very slim rum pickings. Really nothing special.
Review by MarcT
Some distraction from Fiji today: Very promising nose, followed by a mild but uneventful Rum. I somehow missed some of the fruit advertised by the nose. Good, but not special.
Review by Patrik Onderka
Interesting Fiji from Plantation. I didn’t expect much from this because of the average rating. However I was pleasantly surprised. In this price tag, it is very pleasant. Some esters with glue tints on nose, on palate it is fruity, leather and smoky. Finish is dry and rather medium, but tasty.
Review by Montana
A strong smell, some wood, esters and glue, smoky and a bit dirty.The taste is slightly sweet at first, but then quickly becomes drier and woodier. The finish is quite sharp and a bit spicy.
Review by Tim
Reminds me a lot of a Jamaican, especially the Hampden Single Estate.
Review by w00tAN
For me, this is one of the most balanced rums I have drunk in this price category. Very drinkable with good complexity. Of course far behind the 2001s but the PLV is right here. Nice round finish. Simply makes you want more and is a nice start to the evening.
Review by Morgan Garet
Très porté sur le caramel au beurre enveloppé dans les solvants légers et quelques épices. C'est très bon mais cela manque un peu de caractère et de fruits.
Review by DutchRumPirate
I love this Fiji rum. I love the “bite”
Review by Tom Buteneers
Very tasty, alcohol well integrated and not overpowering. Slightly funky, but not nearly like Jamaican rums. Sweet as it is with several Plantations. Definitely a class better than Plantation's "standard Fiji".
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Very floral, mineral release

Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Quite OK but unfortunately not really recommendable. Nothing special in taste.
Review by Niko
Simple but well balanced. Very accessible and fruity. Nice vintage for a Fiji.
Review by Michael Schou
23-01-2025 A decent South Pacific rum. Would have liked a higher ABV. You get what you pay for. Being said that it’s a Plantation. Can find better Fiji rum to the price.
Review by Jonas Kofod
it carried super paw speech and content but too strong
Review by Antoine J
A beautiful pastry nose with aromas of candied grapes. On the palate, the pastry side is more in the background, here the roasted and even mentholated notes take over. Undeniably intense, this rum once aired reveals notes of salted coconut. Nice length.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Lightly spiced. Pleasant Fiji.
