"Nice and classic Fidji nose. Delivering all you would want around plastic, dirt, some vetegal and fruity notes. Similar picture on the palate, yet less fruity with more sweetness than expected. Texture is very nice and creamy. Good stuff, only complexity on the palate could be a bit higher."

"Klassische, intensive Fiji Aromen: Allem voran Frucht, Plastik und Ester+ Funk Am Gaumen ganz ähnlich, die Früchte und Funkyness stehen zum Mittelpunkt. Sehr intensiv und trotz des jungen Alters recht smooth. Zum Nachklang hin nimmt die Trockenheit zu und Oliven kommen hinzu. Ein Parade-Fiji! Wegen seiner Jugend noch ungestüm aber trotzdem sehr gut!"

"This is a really good Fiji for the first time in a long time. The mixture of fresh esters and sweet fruit, paired with spice, are a perfect match here! The alcohol is very well integrated. The only downside is the relatively short finish."

"No idea if I've tried Fiji Rums from the 2012 Vintage, but I know this one is delicious. Plastic, fruit, glue ... it's all there. From recent memory also ahead of a couple of weaker 2001s from the community tasting. Alcohol pinches out a bit at the back."
