RX1717 Very good Pot Still Rum

Discover the exceptional depth of the Fiji Rum, distilled in 2001 by South Pacific distillery and masterfully bottled by Cave Guildive. Aged for 15 years and boasting a robust 58% ABV, this pot-still molasses rum offers an intoxicating melange of aromas, from clove and cherry to nutty black tea, and a harmonious blend of flavors like vanilla, clove, woody notes, and rich dried fruit. Rum connoisseurs praise its astonishing complexity, marrying fresh, minty undertones with the warmth of vanilla, woody depth, and the slight bitterness of black tea. Experience a rum that transcends ordinary, captivates with its freshness and intensity, and leaves a lasting impression with smoky wood finishes. A truly out-of-the-ordinary rum that embodies the soul of Fiji.

“Some migh consider this a light rum, but it's one of the best Fiji rums I have tasted. Fresh and fruity with some grass and flowers on there. I really like the smoky wood finish that last for a good while. On the first sip it is kind og heavy but it settles after that. Leave to rest for a good while and all the goodness comes at you. Leave the glass once empty and whif it after a couple of hours, pure joy I can tell you.”

“In der Nase eine tolle Aromatik, die schon weit vom Glas entfernt erkennbar wird. Tee, Heu, gekochte Früchte (Pflaumen und Kirschen) stechen hervor, später auch etwas Aprikose. Neben der fruchtigen kommt auch etwas schwerere Süsse dazu, die an Melasse und dezent an Gebäck erinnert. Im Mund melden sich zunächst dominante Teenoten, dazu frische Pflaume und Menthol. Auf der Zunge eine dezente Würzigkeit von Piment und Nelke. Der Abgang wird durch Pfeffer eingeleitet. Anschliessend kommt nochmals etwas Alkohol, Pflaumen sowie die sanfte Bitterkeit vom schwarzen Tee. Gesamt: Ein echtes „Brett“ mit Aroma ohne Ende. Irgendwie frisch und gleichzeitig schwer durch das feine Zusammenspiel der zahlreichen Aromen. Ein toller Vertreter der South Pacific Rums, der alle Spielarten vereint: Süsse und frische Früchte, sanfte Bitternoten vom Tee. Aussergewöhnlich.”
