Berrys Fijian 11 years old Berrys Own Selection Rum 70 cl 46%

Fiji isn't the first place that comes to mind when the talk turns to rum, but that very rarity is part of the appeal. Berry Bros. & Rudd, the London wine merchant founded in 1698, has found a single cask far out in the Pacific and brought it home under its own name.

Expert Description

Berry's Fijian 11 Year is a Fiji Rum from Berry's Own Selection, bottled at 46%.

The rum is selected and bottled by Berry Bros. & Rudd, the renowned English wine house founded in 1698, under the Berry's Own Selection label, where the house selects individual casks from distilleries around the world for independent bottling. This Fijian rum has aged for 11 years, a rare provenance that stands markedly apart from the more familiar Caribbean and South American rum styles.

Fiji as a rum origin is still a rarity on the Danish market, making this Berry's release an opportunity to explore a style few rum lovers already know.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Soft ripe fruit and acacia honey, full-bodied with copper nuances, complemented by exotic fruit, stone and almond, plus vanilla.

Palate

Ripe fruit, a treacle-like note and light, well-balanced wood, where fruit, honey, chocolate and vanilla blend into an almost brioche-like texture.

Finish

Clean and lingering with candied fruit, resin and a touch of copper funk.
