RX17441 Very good Pot Still Rum Single Cask 244 bottles Under 250€

“Excellent, complex Fiji rum. Balanced fruit, honey, and spice notes.”

The "Fiji" rum from Rock & Rhum is a standout from the 2001 vintage, celebrated for its complex and harmonious profile. Distilled from molasses using a pot still and aged for 22 years, it boasts a 59% ABV. Aromas of wood, tropical fruit, smoke, and allspice mingle with unique hints of olive. On the palate, expect a rich blend of wood, spices, fruit, and chocolate, complemented by subtle olive notes. Users appreciate its well-balanced mix of fruity esters, honey sweetness, and a slightly smoky undertone. While some find its plastic and rubber notes polarizing, fans admire its depth and integration of flavors. This limited release of just 244 bottles offers an exquisite taste experience for true rum enthusiasts.

“RumX Fiji Crosstasting April 2024 Probiert separat vom offiziellen Line Up. Liegt aktuell auf Platz vier von den 2001 Vintages. Diese Abfüllung muss sich nicht verstecken und wirkt als rundes und sehr komplexes Gesammtpaket.”

“Excellent like the other great 2001 Fijis. Esters, tea notes, some honey on the back. Super stuff.”

“Exzellenter Vertreter der 2001er Fijis, ausgeprägtes Profil mit der zu erwartenden Komplexität und allen typischen Markern bei Holz, Gewürzen und Fruchtigkeit. Einzig die letzte Komplexität fehlt, sonst wäre hier eine neue Referenz unterwegs.”

“Fiji Tasting with DomM This was the evening with the Plantation Fiji that I liked the most. A really good bottling. In my opinion, the alcohol is very well integrated and it tastes super delicious, almost too good. Thank you Tschusikowsky for the split, a good recommendation.”

“Ahh… Da sind ja die Plastik- und Gummi-Noten! Dazu schöne Süße, Gewürze und für mich genau die richtige Menge an Holz. Alkohol sehr dominant, fast schon etwas störend. Ein Fiji mit Ecken und Kanten, sehr gut.”

“Delicious and absolutely recommendable, but for me not quite on the same level as the Antipode. It's a good point or two ahead again. The mix of dirt (rubber, plastic), fruit, sweetness and wood is more varied and coherent in the Antipodes. But they are both great.”

“Insgesamt schöne Komplexität, schöner langer Abgang, Früchte kommen erst im Abgang richtig zur Geltung. Alkohol nicht perfekt eingebunden. Insgesamt holt mich dieser Fiji nicht so recht ab. Mich stört der starke Fasseinfluss, der den Geschmack von nassem Holz hinterlässt. Zudem noch verbrannte Plastiknoten. Nicht der beste seines Jahrgangs.”

“I've rarely been afraid to try a sample, but this thing smells so much like burnt plastic, rubber, bicycle inner tubes and gasoline, it's really disgusting. Fortunately, the flavor has some dark chocolate and a slight fruitiness and olive. Overall, however, the gasoline and burnt plastic part is still very dominant here. If you like it extreme, this is the right place for you. Even as an otherwise Fiji fan, this is definitely too much for me 🤣🙈”

“Fits seamlessly into the good quality of the 01 vintage. Fruity ester note with a slight honey sweetness. The plastic note is not as present as in the 2014 from Swell or the individual components simply harmonize better. However, it does not come close to the complexity of the Collection Antipode bottling.”

“Sehr schöner 2001-Vertreter. Hat nicht ganz die Honigsüße des IdR, nicht ganz die Tiefe und Komplexität des Antipodes, ist aber schön ausbalanciert und ein klasse Rum.”
