The Whisky Jury South Pacific The Many Faces of Rum
Distinctly fruity with prominent pineapple and citrus, backed by subtle smokiness, herbal touches, and fresh wood. Not for everyone, but worth a try if you enjoy a gently complex, fruit-driven Fiji rum.
Fruity, herbal Fiji with smoky and woody undertones.

How does this rum taste?
- long and warm, fruits, light wood
- kandierte Ananas und Lösungsmittel (Ester)
- le nez est trompeur... une ribambelle de fruits tropicaux
Fiji’s 2009 ‘The Many Faces of Rum’ leaves no hiding its fruity kick, especially pineapple and citrus—users like SaibotZtar note “kandierte Ananas und Lösungsmittel”, while Jacques etdom calls the nose “trompeur… une ribambelle de fruits tropicaux.” Herbal and woody notes show up consistently on the palate (“very herbal profile in taste” – Stijn Zino), and you’ll detect light smoke and a hint of olive. The finish is generally described as long and warm, needing “some time in the glass to really open up” (Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰), with a restrained bitterness and a gentle, slightly medicinal close. A bottling that splits opinion but offers plenty to pick apart.

"#5167 22.03.2025 Tasting at Whisky Watcher, Odense. Nose Fresh, medium intense, fruits, light wood, light pineapple, citrus, spice, faint smoke, light olive. Palate Light oily, light wood, faint smoke, fruits, light citrus, faint caramel, light ginger, faint herbal. Finish Long and warm, fruits, light wood, herbal, light tea, faint medicinal, citrus. Needs some time in the glass to really open up properly."
"Ganz spannende Geschichte: In der Nase ordentlich Olive und Zzitrusfrüchte,. Am Gaumen ein bisschen Ananas, dann ein paar röstig rauchige, ja dreckige Noten. Kein wirkliches Komplexmonster, aber ich hab ihn doch genossen, aber in die Spitzengruppe der „Many Faces of Rum“ schafft er es definitiv nicht."
"In der Nase fällt vorallem die Fruchtigkeit nach Zitrusfrüchten auf ... Ananas und etwas Lösungsmittel Ingwer leichte Rauchnoten aber nicht störend . Im Mund erstmal etwas Süße mit Früchten , kandierte Ananas und Lösungsmittel (Ester) . Wird dann kurz etwas bitter was sich aber dann wieder gibt und er schmeckt nach frischem Holz . Wirkt insgesamt sehr zam und zurückhaltend."
"The nose is deceptive, I would have bet on Jamaica. Pineapple, citrus zest, light smoke, a bevy of tropical fruits. Notes still present on the palate. Very fruity. Some herbaceous notes and spices on the finish. Long, warm finish. A nice surprise!"
