Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar, Day 19. A fruity, heavy and spicy nose. Banana and mango, dried fruit, esters, oak, varnish and Christmas spices. The palate is lively, with spices, cedar wood and dried fruit. The finish is long and balanced, but lacks complexity. A fine rum, but I'm not particularly enthusiastic about it.
Auto-translatedMal wieder ein sehr guter 2001er Fiji. Er ist mehr auf der würzig pflanzlichen Seite, dabei aber sehr ausgewogen. Der Alkohol ist sehr eingebunden und trägt die Aromen gut und deutlich. Er komnt zwar an meine Benchmark des Fiji Flag LMDW nicht heran… aber dennoch eine sehr gute Abfüllung
Auto-translatedThis bottling once again confirms the exceptional vintage of Fiji. A special and unique profile. For me, the tomato skin on the nose is particularly striking. The whole thing is very complex and has a lovely long finish.
Auto-translatedBeautiful release, which on the one hand shows the long years in the barrel on the palate, but on the other hand does not lack freshness. Pleasant fruit aromas meet barrel notes, tea and spices. A convincing Fiji from 2001.
