"Ich bin immer wieder fasziniert von diesem absolut rundem und tollem fiji rum. Fruchtigkeit. Vanille karamel. Alles vorhanden. Die Alkoholstärke ist gut und nicht zu schwach wie man anfangs meinen könnte. Gebe hier auf jeden Fall eine Kaufempfehlung"

"For me, this is one of the most balanced rums I have drunk in this price category. Very drinkable with good complexity. Of course far behind the 2001s but the PLV is right here. Nice round finish. Simply makes you want more and is a nice start to the evening."

"Some distraction from Fiji today: Very promising nose, followed by a mild but uneventful Rum. I somehow missed some of the fruit advertised by the nose. Good, but not special."
