South Pacific 8 Year Old Compagnie des Indes

An independent Fijian rum, bottled by Compagnie des Indes after 8 years maturation including a 23 month finish in tawny port cask.

The South Pacific distillery is located in Lautoka on the island of Fifi and began production in 1980 in order to reduce their need for imported spirits like whisky and gin. The decision to make rum in addition was logical given the country had an active sugar industry to provide it with molasses. Today it is a subsidiary of the Australian brewer, the Fosters group, who bought the Willowbank distillery in New Zealand from Seagram in 1997, moving its pot stills to South Pacific the same year. In addition, rum is also distilled on a three-column continuous still.#One of only 189 bottles produced for Last Drops, Denmark
