    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Fiji’s classic funk: bright esters and glue balanced by tropical fruit and gentle spice, with alcohol impressively well integrated for 57.5%. Notes of banana, pineapple, caramel/vanilla and roasted wood unfold into a dry, lightly salty-olive finish. Many say it benefits from a little air. With 58 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a popular, limited cask-strength pick.

    Belle claque au nez ..en bouche je trouve l'alcool super bien intégré dommage que le prix soit pour du 50 cl ..sinon la note aurait été meilleure

    8,8:On the nose... 8,8:On the palate 8,6:The finish is..

    I haven't had many Fiji in my glass yet, but here the nose picks me up straight away with a still slightly green banana and esters. Very round and beautiful. On the palate there's another baked, slightly green banana, followed by esters, a little glue and some plastic. Reminds me a little of Papalin 7, which I also liked. The finish is banana-like and of medium length. For me, a really tasty drop, I even like it a tick better than the New Yarmouth 2009 from the same release.

    Sehr schöner Fiji-Rum, der nicht nur mit Estern aufwartet, sondern auch noch einen angemessenen Fasseintrag abbekommen hat, ohne dass das wiederbefüllte Fass stark ausgebrannt werden musste. Der zunächst nur kurz erscheinende Abgang wird aufgrund der sich nachhaltig festsetzenden Aromen mit jedem Schlückchen länger und leckerer. Besonders beeindruckend ist diese frische Bananennote…als würde ich vor einer großen Schüssel von mitsamt ihrer Schale in Scheiben geschnittenen, grünen Bananen sitzen.
