Holmes Cay 2004 Fiji 17yr Rum｜ Other Products

Holmes Cay's Fiji 2004 was rated 95 points — and it's the bottle RumX's community scores 8.5, the highest in the bottler's range, describing a creamy, oaky Fiji that drinks like a Foursquare. Holmes Cay is Eric Kaye's New York-based independent bottler, founded in 2019 to bring single-cask, cask-strength, additive-free rum to America with full transparency; Esquire named it one of the ten best rum brands, saying to take its rums slowly, the way you would a complex Scotch. The Fiji 2004 is 100% pot-still molasses rum from South Pacific Distilleries, Fiji's only distillery, tropically aged twelve years in ex-bourbon oak, then matured five more in American oak in the UK, and bottled in New York State at 58% ABV with no sugar, color, or flavoring. Holmes Cay's notes: subtle grass and fresh banana on the nose yielding to a burst of citrus, pepper, and caramel on the tongue, a buttery mouthfeel, and a lingering dry finish of spicy oak and balsam. Fijian rum is a cult among enthusiasts for a profile that sits between Jamaican funk and Barbadian polish — tropical fruit, a faint industrial edge, and real texture — and seventeen years is a long time for it. Honest note: this is a single cask at cask strength, priced for rarity, and once the cask is gone it's gone. Neat, with a drop of water, slowly. Fiji's only distillery, seventeen years, one barrel.Buy Holmes Cay 2004 Fiji 17yr Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.
