Spanish exporter Beveland Distillers has
expanded its portfolio with the launch of Marama Spiced Fijian Rum. Beveland
Distillers has launched Marama Spiced Fijian Rum. Marama is a ‘light rum’, the new
expression is a product of made from sugarcane grown in the Fiji Islands. This is great to see, being that sugarcane
has its origins in the area of the Fiji Islands. Distilled in continuous distillation column
stills, before being mixed with water originating from the volcanic substrates
of the islands., This water is further purified in reverse osmosis systems to
ensure the purity.
The rum is aged in American oak barrels, blending
a selection of rums that are aged between three and five years. During the production process extracts from
exotic plants and fruits native to the island are added, to impart notes of
spice, vanilla and citrus.
On the nose, the expression is “slightly
sweet with notes of vanilla, coconut and walnuts”. There is a spicy citrus and ginger notes on
the palate with “a feeling of warmth and zest in the throat” on the finish. There have been some vanilla rums that have
appeared from the Fiji Islands, but this sounds like the real deal for those
that enjoy the spiced rums.
