“Erstklassiger Fiji. Besonders gut die Teenote gepaart mit der Fruchtigkeit. Lediglich der Alkohol könnte ein Kleinserie besser eingebaut sein.”

“Nose Good lord, what is this? That's so different compared to all the rums we had to date. The bouquet is odd and exotic and brings you straight to a tropical Island (no we're not influenced by the label, we promise!). First there is green banana, freshly chopped tamarind and manioc, plus sugar cane fried in melted butter. This creation is thoroughly seasoned with pure vanilla (a lot of vanilla). But it's not the familiar vanilla flavour, given by toasted american oak's additive cask maturation, but the purest vanila pods from Réunion. A really entertaining and exotic bouquet. With water: The fruits are taking command now. Palate This is shamanic stuff! Plenty of herbal, vegetal and sweet flavours are dancing around on our palate like crazy. Hard to unravel this compact package. Shall we? Ground tamarind powder in sweet vanilla pudding, new plastics, pink grapefruits juice and banana milkshake, seasoned with mint and tobacco leaves. Weird and exotic combination we know, but this somehow works very well. With water: Becoming sweeter and creamier now. But no new flavours on the table.”

“The 2001 vintage from Fiji is in a league of its own, and this bottling proves that as well - even if it is one of the weaker representatives of the vintage. The alcohol still stings a bit on the palate and the aromatic complexity of other bottlings does not come out quite as strongly. But that's enough criticism, because it remains a very successful rum with a captivating mix of herbal tea notes, subtle sweetness, wood, fresh tropical fruits and pointed spices. For the issue price from today's perspective almost a gift.”
