    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.

    "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."

    "Fiji mit typischen Noten von wachsigem Honig, dreckigem Rauch, Tropischen Früchten … Plastik ist leider keins dabei. Dafür stört mich etwas am Alkohol in der Nase. Alles in Allem aber recht gut und auch das Preis Genuß Verhältnis ist in Ordnung."

    "Nachdem ich in letzter Zeit einige Rums aus Fiji probiert hatte, wollte ich diesen auch mal probieren. Die Erwartungen waren wegen der aktuellen Bewertung nicht so hoch. Muss aber sagen, dass er mich positiv überrascht hat. Angesichts, dass ich diesen im Sale erwerben konnte, finde ich ihn mehr als gut. Bin froh, dass beim Split etwas mehr übrig blieb."

    "Das ist nicht mein Lieblings-Fiji. Ich vermisse Gummi und Plastik, dafür habe ich etwas zu viel Holz. Das Finish empfinde ich auch eher als störend und der Alkohol ist nicht gut eingebunden. Wäre enttäuscht wenn ich eine ganze Flasche gekauft hätte."
