    How does this rum taste?

    The Single Origin Edition Fiji Rum, sourced from the South Pacific distillery and bottled by Holmes Cay, offers a unique blend of aromas and flavors. At 46% ABV, this rum is characterized by notes of pineapple, grass, and plum on the nose, with sugarcane and burnt sugar hints. Users highlight its complex palate of fruity pineapple, sugarcane sweetness, peppery spice, tropical fruits, and nutmeg. While it may straddle the line between a sipping and mixing rum, its earthy and subtle character offers a versatile drinking experience, appealing to fans of both traditional and modern rum flavors.

    this rum is farmy, fruity, creamy, and subtle with its funk. i knew to expect some industrial notes, but i did not expect it to blend so well with the other flavors. no note seems to overpower another, though a pop of pepper demanded attention on my first sip before my palate adjusted. this rum is flavorful while remaining easy to drink. the various flavors are most certainly there, but they are delicate. that being said, as someone who usually prefers a bit more punch from the taste, i do crave a little more. overall, the holmes cay fiji blend was quite enjoyable, and for me, a great introduction into fijian rum.

    For a molasses rum, it starts pleasantly grassy like an agricole, although it gets “darker” after some breathing time and begins to hint at burnt sugar. Some nice peppery spice notes with hints of nutmeg and a pineapple character. Medium length greener finish.

    A decent sipper. At first will seen a touch harsh, but as it sits, it mellows out quite a bit. An interesting mix of light flavors and sharp sensation from the alcohol. The grassy notes are very light and only show up sometimes, but are very pleasant. I get a lot of homemade marshmallow, which is fantastic. All in all, a delicious product.

    Pretty good, however this rum is kind of in a weird in between place for me: not quite a sipper, not quite a mixer.
