How does this rum taste?
- Sweet and balanced flavors
- Rich chocolate notes
- Smooth alcohol integration
The No. 16 rum, distilled in 2004 at Fiji's South Pacific distillery, showcases 17 years of aging and an impressive 61.1% ABV. Selected and bottled by Nobilis Rum, it's cask-strength and limited to just 218 bottles. Tasting notes highlight aromas of solvents, tropical fruit, vanilla, and caramel. On the palate, flavors of dark chocolate, vanilla, roasted notes, and spiciness are pronounced. Users praise its sweet undertones and balance, although it lacks the expected ester profile typical of Fiji rums. Despite its distinct character, some find it a tad harsh, with alcohol more prominent than anticipated.

"Leider keinerlei Wiedererkennungswert. Nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht gut. Unabgefüllt würde ich ihn nicht vermissen. Irgendwie schade, aber so ist das eben manchmal - sogar mit einem von Nobilis abgefüllten Rum. Update 2024-02-01 - Blind Tasting, 6. Rum Nase: brrrr, was ist das denn? Ein simpel gestrickter Foursquare? Gaumen: einfach unangenehm, sprittig, trotzdem flach; nee, FS kann das nicht sein, ich mag die zwar nicht, aber weil sie langweilig sind, aber nicht so stechend wie dieser Rum. Keine Ahnung, was das ist. Auflösung: Puh, der Fiji von Nobilis, den ich sogar schon mal im Glas hatte. Aber die damals vergebenen 76 Punkte kann der Rum heute nicht halten: von mir gibt es nur 60 Punkte. Sorry, Nobilis, Fehlgriff. 🤷🏽♂️"

"This 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."
