Poured neat on a warm day or dropped into a cola, this Fiji leans soft and sweet. You get ripe banana, tropical fruit, a whiff of glue and solvent that hints at the island's ester side, then vanilla and honey smooth it over. Several tasters call it a fine entry to Fiji, though the added sweetness flattens the funk and the finish drops off fast.
The community says- Ripe banana notes
- Easy to drink

How does South Pacific Plantation Isle of Fiji taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet, banana-forward entry into Fiji rum Well-liked as an easy, fruity intro to Fiji rum, but the sweetness divides people — fans of the style say it buries the funk and the finish is short.

Cleanly adjusted the sugar so it is not too dominant. 16g fits really well. Interesting notes of banana with blossoms with pleasant vanilla. The price-performance ratio is very good. I like it very much.

Alcoholic, somewhat flat, few dimensions. Somewhat fruity and light. Plantation 20XO better.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall is the nose unpleasant, palate better than expected and too short finish. The nose is fruity, spicy and smoky with additional smells of glue, alcohol and vanilla. At the palate it tastes like the nose indicated except for alcohol and glue, instead it’s very sweet.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
There is something about this rum that swings it off but I can't put my finger on it. The nose promisses a lot that the palate can't finish. Still wondering what tipped this one......

Review by Galli33
Mmh… Very thin, diluted, sweet daily sipper. Paired with some nice notes of various fruits. It‘s a good one, for beginners especially, otherwise it‘s more like a daily driver at a very good price level.
Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose it is quite punchy and vanilla. Lots and lots of dark treacly molasses notes jump straight out at you, a bit of caramel then. There is a sweeter, more perfumed note but it’s little fierce as well, varnish. After a little time in the glass some fruitier notes arise, fermented, overripe notes, even rotten, canned with passion fruit, banana, ripe pears, plum and some currants. There is a smokiness as well.The nose is really impressive and balanced. 7,8:On the palate the rum is not as powerful as the nose suggested, but is well round. The fruitier notes are not that strong, not overripe, banana is fresh. It has a sweetener note, it is spicy with some baking spices. On the mid palate, we get some punchy and roasted notes of burnt banana, ginger and a honey, minimal bitterness present. 7,3:The finish is medium. It fades quite quickly, is fruity, spice, some overripe notes, a bit dry and acidic, that sweetener note stays. Edit:28.9.25.
Review by heckto🥃
On the nose rather simple and not very complex. On the palate vanilla, honey, coconut, and tropical fruits. Too sweet, flat, and thin for the professional palate. I find it drinkable, light, and tasty. Certainly no explosion of flavors but a solid sweet rum.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Flavors of vanilla, honey, plums and coconuts. Aftertaste of dried bananas and bourbon spices.
Review by Eugene227
This rum offers surprisingly much character for the price. Tropical fruits, ripe banana, light spice, and the typical soft Plantation style make it very pleasant. Not a complex premium rum, but definitely a strong entry-level option in terms of price-enjoyment ratio.
Review by Jarrod Smith
Vanilla, fruits, toasted coconut. Sweet fruits on the front and dry spices with nutty vanilla on the finish. Big flavors. Excellent rum.
Review by Rumpalumpa
A Fiji rum from Plantation that follows the typical profile of this island, with fruity esters in the foreground. However, the cognac cask also makes it quite mild and vanilla-like. Also slightly sweetened, of course.
Review by rum_sk
Retasting 26.5.26: Nose is vibrant, fruity, lightly sweet with hints of fresh floral/vegetal aromas and surprisingly; esters. Palate is lovely sweet with sirup kind of consistency highlighting vanila, nougat, spiciness such as black pepper on the tongue and all that wrapped in lovely typical plantation cognac coat. Rum is artificially sweetened but only very lightly with 16g of sugar per liter. Finish is medium long with seeet freshness remaining on the tongue. Really surprising as it was quite similar to Jamaican rum, a bit of esters and smell and taste reminded me of a home made booze made of various fruits such as plums. Not bad, very surprising though. Retasted and I agree with previous take, very similar to Jamaican rum and I like that.
Review by Skyfly
Tropical fruits dominate this rum from the nose to the finish. The nose still smells more like pear, but in the mouth you get the taste of dried pears. I would have loved this rum at cask strength :P
Review by Necron
Very powerful scent and strong alcoholic taste. Cannot say that it is a good rum since the overpowering alcohol taste removes most of the pleasure from the rest of the flavours. If you do like the strong alcoholic taste, then by all means go for it - Myself, I prefer to have a sweet taste without a burn in my throat.
Review by Werner10
Edit : took down my original rating a bit. From 73 to 70. Although i'm not the biggest lover of Jamaican rums, this one goes a tiny bit in the same direction but way less funky. Not bad at all. It's fruity and very easy to drink. Finish is a bit too short tho 🤷♂️
Review by w00tAN
Beautiful nose, but in the mouth then dominates mainly the sweetness. Honey and vanilla give each other the hand especially in the finish then but rather tangy with medium-long finish. Drinkable for beginners or as a simple sipper, but more should not be expected
Review by Godspeed
This is a mixed tropical and continental aged column still rum that I was pleasantly surprised by. Had I not looked it up I would've sworn this had at least some pot still in it, but I guess the Cognac casks just worked their magic. Tropical flavors for days, sweet and inviting, the kind of rum I'd put in front of just about anyone and they'd very likely enjoy it. It lacks the complexity to fly high but at 3 years aging and this price I'm not going to hold that against it. Would use in cocktails especially if I wanted a slightly sweet note to whatever I was making.
Review by Andrew Mainprice
Fantastic rum not as sweet as expected
Review by thomas fraboulet
Fruity, vanilla, very smooth & round on the palate, almost honeyed. Very short finish. Added sugar. To be drunk neat or in a Daiquiri.
Review by Robert Mallander
Wonderful on the nose, unfortunetally weak in flavour
Review by Christian Rudt
Light Fiji. Nice mixer.
Review by Mark Leggett
Aromas of caramel, spice and hogo. Flavor of barrel, spice, caramel and hints of dried fruit. Was expecting more tropical fruit that I'm not getting
Review by Jan Králík
Quite sweet rum... but pleasant to drink. Tastes better than it smells. Honey, vanilla and plum... slightly coconut. Pretty good for the price.
Review by Cédric Meyers
Surprising at first on the nose, it remains pleasant nonetheless. On the palate it is dry, slightly fruity and alcoholic with a fairly long finish that stays on this alcoholic side and you can tell where it goes.
Review by Montana
The smell is fruity, with glue and ester notes. Also spicy and woody, somewhat sweet and slightly funky-dirty. The taste is somewhat sweet, fruity-spicy with some alcohol and smoke.
Review by Jackson Sawko
I really enjoy this rum. It was my gateway into the world of rum and now, over a 60 bottles later, it’s still one of my favorites. Very smooth and perfect over a block of coconut water ice.
Review by Johannes
It already has the classic Fiji profile, but to me it also seems sweetened. Interesting beginner!
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Floral, sweet, a bit of glue, banana and pineapple. Mild and easy-drinking on the nose, light and pleasant. On the palate then a bit thin, but with two clearly defined sides. Sweet and floral at first sip, then the ester aromas settle quite centrally and clearly. A sharp change, and I think that's exactly where the honey-like dosage smooths it out. I like it a lot - but I have no comparison to other Fijis. Addendum: after tasting a bit more Fiji, it seems relatively pale in character. Still a pretty good entry.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose reminds me of a mid to high ester Jamaican in many ways. Lots of gluey solvent notes, heavy on the banana and floral notes. A touch sharp. The palate is not as floral and the nose let's on. Some honey, still lots of solvents. A touch of smoke on the back end. The finish is very short. But pleasant in its tropical flavours. Honey and coconut mainly. Overall not a bad rum. Works well sipped neat on a hot day.
Review by Fauco
Its a pleasant, sweet and fruity rum. I enjoyed it but won’t buy a whole bottle of it.
Review by jamdram
Actually nothing wrong with this rum. Tasted blind and was shocked to find out it was a Fiji. Has absolutely nothing recognisable as the wonderful characteristics of SPD. Super generic, soft/flabby & sweet. Relatively well balanced with some dried fruit Caramel toffee and hints of barrel spice, but again all very generic.
Review by Jack M
Very sweet. Marshmallow and honey flavours. Not dynamic.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Too thin and too sweet, Fiji has more to offer. Suitable for beginners who want to discover something new beyond the usual sweet suspects.
Review by Tyler L
The nose is amazing. Overripe bananas and a trace of varnish or solvent. I get the impression of a crate of bananas forgotten in a dark corner of a dive shop. Taste is similar with fried banana, buttery smoothness. Slightly musty. Almost too sweet but it’s balanced pretty well.
Review by DutchRumPirate
This was my first Plantation experience. I mostly drink it in mix and I fell in love with it.
Review by Niko
A very decent mass-market rum for tasty cocktails 🙂🙂
Review by Léo Delek
Yo bros, Plantation - Isle of Fiji - 🇫🇯 - 40% I had been seeing posts about rums from the Fiji islands for a while and my curiosity piqued, I finally took the plunge with this rum. Certainly very basic with a significant reduction and slight sweetening, I thought this Plantation was ideal for a first trip to the Pacific Ocean. It's a blend of molasses distilled in column and pot still. It aged 3 years in bourbon barrels on its home island to finish its maturation in ex-cognac casks in the Plantation warehouse located in southern France. On the nose, the molasses reveals itself directly but remains vague and reminds me of many Caribbean destinations (Saint Lucia, Jamaica, Barbados, ...). Of course, we have fruits, vanilla, and smoky notes. On the palate, there is a sensation of "hot milk chocolate" with a note of pepper that enhances everything but unfortunately you feel the sweetening and the finish is short. Cheers
Review by michaël renard
Soft but fruity start. Notes of citrus orange with a slight bitterness.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
If it weren't for the damn dosage, this would be a really nice entry-level Fiji, it is with it too but the aroma is simply overshadowed by the sweetness which is a shame... still a good standard Fiji with nice presentation.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Has that special nose and palate that a pot still rum has. Picking up some dried fruits and pear as first impressions. Palate delivers more dried fruits and a sharp alcoholic taste. A good rum from plantation but not one of my favourites.
Review by Christoph
A very fruity Fiji rum which is personally way too sweet for me. The sweetness also somewhat overpowers the spice notes of clove and ginger on the finish. If the rum were less sweetened, I would probably like it better.
Review by Steve the Barman
All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Tasty basic Fiji rum. Perfect for making a dark 'n stormy. Price/quality definitely worth the money!
Review by Adrien B
Fiji is here. Consensual.
Review by M@xiM
Aroma: sweet herbal aroma, very spicy, some vegetable tomato notes, Jamaican flavors of rotten fruit. Taste: sweet, spicy, very fruity, the barrel is in place, despite the fact that these alcohols with a Feeder are very similar to Plantation Jamaica 2002. The aftertaste remains sweet, barrel and fruity Jamaican funk and it is quite long. In general, a very decent budget release from Plantation, blindly I would definitely say that this is Jamaica. We need more rums from Fiji, a wonderful island. Аромат: сладкий травяной аромат, очень пряный, какие-то овощные томатные ноты, Ямайские ароматы гнилых фруктов. Вкус: сладкий, пряный, очень фруктовый, бочка на месте, несмотня на то что это спирты с Фиджи ром очень похож на Plantation Jamaica 2002. На послевкусии остаётся сладость, бочка и фруктовый Ямайский фанк и оно достаточно продолжительное. В общем очень приличный бюджетный релиз от Plantation, вслепую я бы точно сказал что это Ямайка. Нужно больше ромов с Фиджи, замечательный остров.
Review by Kieron Wood
This is a different island to obtain rum from . In a online tasting session the plantation rep went on to say that the island will now exclusively sell only to plantation ..... The actual rum is quite dry but sweet with dried fruit notes . You can see the Jamaican style production notes in the sampling at the start of the pallete and towards the end the sugar takes over
Review by Solidfunk
Vanilla, caramel, coconut. Very light barrel. Pours golden, but pretty light. Just OK--sits somewhere between average Hispanic rums with a hint of Barbados (though probably not enough. This is my first Fijian rum and I was hoping for a little more personality. Short finish. Had in a flight at Casta's. 6.6

Read full review ›I've already been down the Fijian rum route though, so this is probably a good start. Whether it's the dosage, Ferrand finish or just the age of the rums in the blend after such a promising nose, it fell just a little short. It's still quite good though and I...
