    I am always fascinated by this absolutely round and great fiji rum. Fruity. Vanilla caramel. Everything is there. The alcohol strength is good and not too weak as you might think at first. I definitely recommend buying it here

    A well-balanced fruity Fiji rum. I like the woody-sweet note paired with caramel-vanilla. The only thing I don't like is the somewhat tangy sticky taste in the finish. Nevertheless, a good choice in this price range.

    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.

    Had this at a restaurant with very slim rum pickings. Really nothing special.
