    How does this rum taste?

    The Premium Single Cask Rum from the South Pacific distillery in Fiji is an independent bottling by Kinghaven, distilled in 2009 and aged for 12 years. This rum, with a robust 58% ABV, features prominent woody and smoky notes complemented by hints of honey, ester, and tropical fruits. Tasting reveals a creamy texture with wood, smoke, and brown sugar undertones. Users appreciate its complex yet balanced profile, noting the influence of Oloroso Sherry cask maturation, adding layers of raisin sweetness and nuttiness. While some find the alcohol integration slightly harsh and the mid-palate thin, the rum generally receives positive feedback for its unique Fiji character and value for money.

    Delicious... a very successful Fiji ... with lots of fruit and esters on the nose, pleasant palate with fruit, light smoky wood, restrained spice and perfectly integrated alcohol. These flavors continue through the finish! Top!

    Die Nachreifung im erstbefüllten Oloroso Sherryfass ergänzt diesen Fiji-Rum gekonnt mit einer köstlichen Rosinensüße und nussigen Aromen sowie einer feinen Eichenwürze, ohne ihn zur Unkenntlichkeit zu verfälschen. Die Ester sind dadurch zwar etwas ruhiger und nicht mehr so im Vordergrund, aber immer noch deutlich erkennbar. Gefällt mir richtig gut!

    This is a sample I just got and I have to admit it was a very nice meeting I had with it. The nose is fresh and fruity with light smoky wood and grass. As it rests the nose gets more clear and fruity. The palate is creamy with smoky wood, fruit and a hint of coffee. The finish is medium long with smoky wood, fruits and light coffee.

    Ich habe mir im Vorfeld wenig versprochen von dieser Abfüllung und wurde doch positiv überrascht. Insgesamt relativ komplex und erinnert mich an einen Mix aus einem Chairman, Mhoba und TDL. Viele dreckige Noten mit ordentlich Karamell und dazu leicht verkohlt.
