    "Edit: Danke Jakob in den Genuss gekommen, ein breites Spektrum von den Fiji 2001 Abfüllungen probieren zu können. Obwohl ich vorher schon einige im Glas hatte, hat mich das Ergebnis doch wieder verwundert, da mein vorheriger Favorit auf dem letzten Platz gelandet ist. Wobei man dazu sagen muss, dass ich auf Grund eines Zeitproblems den meisten keine Zeit zum entwickeln gegeben habe. Deshalb hier das Ergebnis vom Blindtasting, dass von der Bepunktung abweicht. Das ist wirklich einmal ein Plantation und auch noch aus Fiji der mich wirklich überzeugt. Sehr lecker. Danke Vincent für das Sample. Ich muss sagen das dieser mich von den Fijis die ich bis jetzt im Glas hatte am meisten überzeugt hat. Meine Nummer 1 aus diesen Land"

    "RumX Fiji Crosstasting April 2024 Platz 3/8 Erneute Verkostung im Blind Tasting. Die Abfüllung hebt sich durch das Ferrand Finish deutlich vom Rest und etwas des ursprünglichen Profils ab. Jedoch wirkt der Rum sehr komplex. Ursprüngliche Bewertung: Eine sehr schöne Abfüllung von Plantation. Schade, dass diese schwer zu bekommen war. Bitte mehr in dieser Art."

    "RumX Fidji 2001 Cross Tasting: Noticably different from the rest of the pack. Very high intensity and thickness and density. First association was „Guyan-esque twist on the Fidji 01 profile“. Actually the twist obviously comes from the Ferrand finish. This works really well here and beautifully enhance the base profile. For me 2nd place (blind) Cheers to Jakob!"

    "Blind I would never have thought of Fiji from the nose, rather Jamaica high Ester. Brutal stuff, full in the face glue, red berries, tangerine and a whole mouthful of old leather bicycle chair 🤣and bicycle tube but especially leather is blatantly dominant. in ne very perverse way unfortunately really horny with an eternal finish and makes surprisingly fun to drink despite the high age and alcohol content.I am once again similar to the recently released Hampden extremely flashed that such a quality again from the house Plantation comes on the market!Definitely one of the best Fiji rums to date!At the 2nd tasting, the typical burnt bicycle tube aroma is almost too much for me! Nevertheless, a blatant device as far as Fiji is concerned! "Tastes like you're burning your bike and then eat ne horny dark chocolate mousse with red fruit jelly, plus bissl salty banana chipsAber your whole face is full of burnt rubber" 🤣🌋🚲🔥"
