    Tolles komplexes Gesamtpaket - 2001er Fiji in Reinform, Zitrusfrüchte, Tee, Holz, Rauch, Gewürze; ein exquisites Release, das in der Oberklasse der mir bekannten Fiji-Releases mitzuspielen vermag. Fordernd, intensiv - ein breites Spektrum an Aromen spielt auf, insgesamt ein sehr gutes Release!

    After resting this rum for a while it releases very nice flavours. The ABV is well integrated and you get the roasted/smoky wood notes from the long aging. Lightly fruity with a nice touch of esters and vanilla/caramel. Very long and dry finish. Price to quality is OK in my mind.

    Rhum très intense. Trop pour moi.
