Fiji Rum & Co Ratu Dark Premium Rum

The community finds this Fiji rum classic in aroma, but a bit thin and divisive on taste—vanilla and chocolate for some, "burnt tire" for others. One to try if you enjoy smoky and grassy notes.

5.5  / 10  (54 reviews)

Classic Fiji notes, approachable and gently smoky for beginners.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Sehr typischer Fiji in der Nase
    • nicht gänzlich überfordernd
    • guter Fiji-Rum für Einsteiger

    Ratu Dark Premium Rum splits the RumX crowd: the nose brings familiar Fiji elements—rubber, smoky grass, and young wood, with several finding “a very typical Fiji profile” (@Jakob). On the palate, vanilla, prunes, toasted notes, and even a touch of dark chocolate show through, yet some say it’s "etwas dünn, aber ein guter Fiji-Rum für Einsteiger!" (@Johannes). Sips move quickly from sweet and slightly artificial to a lingering, earthy, and lightly smoky character. RumX tasters mention both approachable complexity and flashes of ‘burnt tire’—a rum best explored with open expectations.

    "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."

    "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."
