Fiji Rum & Co Ratu Dark Premium Rum

Many like the accessible Fiji profile and chocolate-vanilla sweetness, but others find it thin, artificial, and too sweet. Consensus: decent mixed, underwhelming as a neat rum.

    How is this rum rated?

    Rating (0-10)
    5.5/10 57 reviews

    It’s a blend of pot and column still rum, which I can’t recommend. The nose is floral and woody with scents of grass and young wood. At the palate it’s fruity, floral and woody with flavors of coconut, grass, rubber and bourbon. The finish is medium long.

    Fand ihn im ersten Eindruck echt schlecht, nachdem er etwas geatmet hat, wurde es besser. In der Nase sehr künstlich und junges Holz. Im Gaumen ist er sehr kräftig und ein Hauch von Vanille und Schokolade. Alkohol ist nicht gut eingebunden.

    Süß, süßer, Ratu.

    I like to use this rum in a pineapple mixer. 5 cl of rum 5-10 cl of fresh pineapple juice A very refreshing drink. If you want it a bit more fresh, try to add a squeeze of lime.
