Nobilis South Pacific No. 16 2004
Highly regarded as a solid, well‑balanced Fiji with chocolate, toffee and coffee notes and well‑integrated alcohol, even if it’s less funky and complex than fans of classic South Pacific expect.
Bourbon or Barbados fans and cask strength drinkers who like dry, chocolate‑and‑toffee heavy rums with natural‑tasting sweetness rather than funky, high‑ester profiles.

How does this rum taste?
Soft, chocolatey Fiji at full power
You’ll appreciate this if you like Foursquare‑style, chocolatey cask strength rums and are curious how Fiji can mimic that profile, but don’t expect the usual South Pacific ester fireworks.
Those chasing classic ester‑heavy Fiji funk, beginners sensitive to 60%+ ABV, or drinkers wanting maximum complexity and a long, evolving finish.

Unfortunately, no recognition value whatsoever. Not bad, but not good either. I wouldn't miss it unbottled. Kind of a shame, but that's the way it is sometimes - even with a rum bottled by Nobilis. Update 2024-02-01 - Blind tasting, 6th rum Nose: brrrrr, what's that? A simply knitted Foursquare? Palate: just unpleasant, fizzy, yet flat; nope, FS can't be that, I don't like them but because they're boring, but not as pungent as this rum. No idea what that is. Solution: Phew, the Fiji from Nobilis, which I've even had in a glass before. But the rum can't keep up the 76 points I gave it back then: I only give it 60 points. Sorry, Nobilis, mistake. 🤷🏽♂️
Auto-translatedThis is not your typical Fiji rum but a very nice sidestep. Really well balanced and with natural sweetness, fruit and lovely toffee. I can see why they chose this cask because of the balance and the uniqueness of flavours.
Was ist nur mit dem Jahrgang 2004 von South Pacific los? Schmeckt gar nicht typisch nach Fiji, sondern eher langweilig, auch wenn er einer der besseren 2004er ist. Blind hätte ich ihn auf Foursquare getippt!
Hmm, where are the esters? Not very typical nose for Fiji. On the palate round and spicy with slight sweetness, but also quite strong alcoholic. The transition to the finish is dominated by wood and coffee and fades quite quickly.Good rum but I expected more.
