Absolut positive Überraschung!! Pfeifentabak, karamellisierte Banane, reife Ananas, schwarze Johannisbeere, Klebstoff, Lack, Gummi und gebranntes Leder an der Nase. Geschmacklich dann wiederum Menthol, Tabak, Sauerkirsche, kräftiger ungesüßter Kaffee, Zitrusfrüchte wie Bergamotte, wie bei einem guten Earl Grey Tee und etwas von der typischen Fiji Gummi DNA und wieder Menthol und schwarze Johannisbeere/Cassis, dann wieder Tabak, Kaffee und Kirsche. Der Abgang ist ungewöhnlich lang. Der Alkoholgehalt ist extrem gut gewählt und hebt alle Aromen hervor ohne zu dünn zu sein. Ich bin extrem positiv angetan, von diesem eher ungewöhnlichen 2001er Fiji Vintage Profil, welches mich teils eher an 95er EMB Clarendon Jamaica Rums erinnert.
#4934 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time.

Un rhum fidjien varié et plaisant sur tous les points. Le nez offre un beau panel aromatique : tantôt fruité (banane, ananas), tantôt pâtissier (toffee, beurre), à la fois épicé, boisé et médicinal, cet embouteillage se veut généreux, intense et d’une belle rondeur. Les notes de tabac en fond de nez sublime le profil. Un nez accrocheur et diversifié. En bouche, le profil se veut onctueux mais conserve de son intensité aromatique. Le côté beurré, floral, médicinal et esterisé se met en avant, puis viennent des notes plus épicées, plus empyreumatiques (rôties, fumées) qui surgissent aux côtés des fruits tropicaux. L’ensemble est plutôt cohérent et se veut bien agréable en bouche. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est un poil en-dessous des attentes, notamment sur la longueur. Le tabac, le cuir, le bois rôti et les épices donnent une tonalité assez sombre. Les notes médicinales arrivent sur le camphre et la colle, tandis que le toffee, les agrumes et les fruits tropicaux se partagent les restes de l’arrière-bouche. Un rhum plaisant, accessible et hétéroclite, mais il manque quelque chose pour franchir un palier dans le registre des Fidji 2001.
Richtig guter, typischer Fiji-Rum. Mit den besten des hervorragenden Jahrgangs 2001 kann die Abfüllung leider nicht ganz mithalten.
