How does this rum taste?
- eine geile Klebstoff Note
- schöne Frucht am Gaumen
- Alkohol gut eingebunden
This Fiji rum from The Whisky Jury draws the RumX crowd in with "schöne Frucht am Gaumen" (Jonas) and its signature blend of esters, glue, and plastic notes. The nose gets frequent praise for being "Gummi Deluxe" (Jonas), "eine geile Klebstoff Note" (zabo), and showing plenty of tropical fruit, green banana, and olive hints. Plastic and medicinal edges evoke comparisons to Guyana and even Mhoba, while the palate balances spice and funk with a generally well-integrated alcohol. The finish veers from short and dry to notably savory, with opinions split but most agreeing the core Fiji character is handled with panache.

"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."
"Classic, intense Fiji flavors: above all fruit, plastic and ester+ funk Very similar on the palate, with the fruit and funkiness taking center stage. Very intense and quite smooth despite its young age. The dryness increases towards the finish and olives are added. A parade Fiji! Still impetuous due to its youth but still very good!"
"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."
