South Pacific RA Fiji Rum FSDP 2001
Most enjoy its gin‑meets‑Fiji character, complex herbs and dry oak. Critics find it too bitter, medicinal and thin, missing classic Fiji funk. Consensus: interesting, divisive specialist bottling.
Seasoned Fiji fans and gin lovers who enjoy dry, herbal, medicinal profiles at nearly 60% ABV and want an offbeat, cask‑strength take on the 2001 vintage.

How does this rum taste?
Gin‑meets‑Fiji for herbal risk‑takers
If you like RA’s recent herbal‑juniper bottlings or enjoy gin and dry agricoles, this is a fascinating Fiji twist; just don’t expect the usual 2001 fruit and funk.
Beginners, classic Fiji fruit‑funk seekers, and anyone sensitive to bitter, medicinal notes or high‑ABV rums without added sweetness.

RumX Community Tasting Fiji 2001. A nose dominated by pine resin, but also vegetal, toasted, orange peel, menthol and candy-like notes. The candy comes back on the palate, with a sweet/pastry side. Vegetal/pine resin and cedar wood. The finish is long, with vegetal notes, pine resin and menthol. Very nice empty glass, fruity and woody. The aromas in this rum are a little surprising, but personally I like them because they remain dynamic and tasty.
Bitteres Plastik, etwas Frucht, Alkohol ist schlecht eingebunden. Wer die andere, ältere tolle Fiji Abfüllungen von Rum Artesanal kennt oder auch die früheren TRC Abfüllungen, erkennt hier eine schwachen Abklatsch. Fazit: Eher nicht.
Nase: Harz, Blumig, Cashewnüsse, Blutorange, etwas Leim, nicht so typisch Gaumen: Kräuter, etwas grasig, Honig, trotzdem mit Fiji, Alkohol gut eingebunden
Incredible, but not in a positive sense.... Personally, I find the thing undrinkable and would never fill something like that! So a blatant note of Genever, which I was almost sick...and the Fiji DNA can completely move into the background. Low point of RA bottlings for me😢
