Fruity navy-strength candy-banana funk
If you enjoy Fijian-style funk or bold navy blends, this keeps that fruity, marshmallowy nose while being relatively affordable and mixable—great if you’re exploring higher-proof character rums.

Best rum at the Price of 299,- i Denmark. Really Long and excellent taste
Bought this on reading the FatRumPirate review. It didn’t disappoint and I’m actually surprised it isn’t rated higher on here. Certainly the price to value ratio is excellent. The nose is has some of the Fijian funk I experienced with the MoM Fijian but it is less buttery and more like marshmallows and candy floss. It also has some lovely fruity notes - peaches and tropical fruits. The palate keeps many of the flavours but isn’t as sweet as expected. It has a heat and spice up front which is followed by some gentle sweetness and fruity flavours. The finish brings wood spice and vanilla. For me I’m going 8.6 based on its winning nose.
A very good buy
A lot of its smell. Pretty thrown into technicality, banana, molasses. I'd like that. Subtle vanilla flavours with banana, esters and molasses.Very nice finish with vanilla, marzipan, molasses and fruit brandy. A good piece of work.
