"Edit Edit: had another one in the glass at the Swell Masterclass. A really great Fiji. Edit: In the comparison test with other Fiji, this one is in the top third in my opinion and is one of the best Fiji bottlings I've had in a glass. Evaluated quickly when bottling. I like it quite well at first glance. But will have to compete against other Fiji again."

"28.03.2024 Retasting at Swell de Spirits Masterclass and I stick to my score. ------------------------ #4524 14.12.2023 When looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money with this release. Very refreshing with fruit and a nice marzipan touch. On top of that a nice natural sweetness. The palate is oily and has a light herbal touch to it. The finish is long and warm with a light citrus note. ABV very well integrated. Don't leave for too long in the glass or it goes "bad"."

"The first impression on the nose is very fruity (unripe banana!), followed by spice and barrel notes, very intense! On the palate I clearly notice the approx. 66% alcohol and the spicy and woody aromas come more to the fore. The finish is dominated by barrel notes, slight bitterness, spice and only then the fruit. Very good rum, a little sharp-edged in my opinion, but it brings out the South Pacific profile well."

"Tasting it fresh is definitely better than letting it breathe for too long, thanks to Kevin s. I made the experience that you shouldn't let it breathe for too long, otherwise the burnt plastic notes become too dominant. If you taste it fresh, beautiful fruit and glue notes emerge, along with bitter medicinal, metallic, burnt bicycle inner tube, brine and burnt caramel... Personally, it's just too blatant for me... Unfortunately I don't get 100% warm with it. Sorry🙈😆"
