Plantation Vintage Collection N. 3 Under the Sea Fiji 2009 – Limited Edition rum

Plantation Vintage Collection N. 3 Under the Sea Fiji 2009 is an exclusive One-Time Limited Edition from Plantation Rum – created for collectors and connoisseurs seeking depth, terroir and authentic craftsmanship. This vintage rum from Fiji is a shining example of how double maturation and uncompromising selection can elevate rum to a very special level.

Distilled in 2009 at the Rum Co. of Fiji Distillery and personally selected by master blender Alexandre Gabriel. Only the best casks were hand-picked for this bottling, making it particularly attractive for those who want a unique and limited rum with a distinct identity.

Plantation’s signature is the famous double maturation, and here you get a full 13 years of maturation: first 10 years of tropical aging in Lautoka, Fiji, where heat and humidity accelerate maturation and create intensity and richness. The rum is then shipped to Javrezac, France, where it ages for a further 3 years in French oak Ferrand casks. This combination adds structure, elegance and a rounded complexity that makes the rum both powerful and harmonious.

The distillation is 100% pot still, which gives a heavier and more aromatic style than many traditional Fijian rums that often combine column and pot still distillates. The result is a rum with distinctive character, deep aroma and a great balance of fruit, spice and cask.

Tasting notes

• Nose: Intense and complex with ripe tropical fruits, banana, pineapple and papaya, accompanied by vanilla, caramel and toasted French oak spices.
• Flavor: Rich and structured with dark sugar, exotic fruit, cocoa and spicy notes. The pot still distillation adds weight and a slightly oily mouthfeel.
• Finish: Long and warm with dry oak, spice and a lingering fruity sweetness.
