This rum was bottled for Wu Dram Clan, and independent bottler. This rum was distilled from molasses on a pot still in Fiji where it aged for 11 years. It then aged for another 6 years in Europe before being bottled at cask strength with no additives for Wu Dram.

Rating: 6/10

This rum is not my favorite Fiji rum in terms of flavor profile. The wood is very aggressive here and the oak dominates. I don’t find any of that industrialness or rubber notes I get. There are some nice fruits and spices here but the oak is aggressive for me. It’s still very good, but its not my jam.
