How does this rum taste?
Smoky Fiji rum for whisky fans
If you like peated whisky or smoky finishes, this takes classic 2001 Fiji rubber and layers whisky and peat on top—interesting and flavorful, but the finish dominates, so you need to be into that.
Beginners expecting sweet, easy rum, or purists wanting clean, undiluted Fiji character without dominant whisky, sulphur hints or noticeable bitterness.

In this Plantation bottling, the fiji flavors harmonize beautifully with the whiskey finish. I like very much.
The typical 2001 Fiji notes are there. Rubber gum gum gum. Of course it suffers from dilution, but either way a successful bottling and worth a purchase.
On The Rocks: On the nose it has a very strong fruit presence with underlying floral, spice and oak notes. The aroma is quite strong and you will smell it beyond your glass in the room. Taste has a stronger spice and oak taste with fruit taking a back seat with mild underlying hints. There is a slightly bitter taste as it lacks the expected sweetness. The spice is very present with a little burn. Finish is very long and distinct with reasonable complexity. This is a very interesting rum release that is very much a flavour bomb overall. Nice sipping in small quantities. Do not pour a larger glass as it will be overwhelming. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose a dusty old warehouse. Taste reveals a mild bourbon that is slightly bitter with a short finish. Not really enjoyable mixed and would suggest on the rocks.
