How does this rum taste?
The SMF Rum 2004 from the South Pacific distillery in Fiji is a distinct and limited-edition release, bottled by Excellence Rhum. Distilled from molasses and aged for 13 years, this rum boasts an intriguing aroma of vanilla, honey, and citrus notes. On the palate, its fruity and woody flavors mix with undertones of glue and honey. Users commend its fresh, light wood aromatics and hint of spice, yet note a shortfall in palate complexity compared to its promising scent. This rum is recognized for its well-integrated alcohol and unique character, though some find it lacks dynamic presence in taste and finish.

Un rhum déroutant. Le nez est d’abord assez timide, montrant d’ailleurs des signes d’alcool ainsi que de légères notes de fût, d’épices et de caramel. L’aération fait apparaître un côté plus beurré, plus funky, mais aussi beaucoup plus de fruits, allant des agrumes (citron) aux fruits tropicaux (ananas, noix de coco). Un profil olfactif rond, moelleux, presque crémeux. Si jusque-là le profil était intéressant, le palais va cependant en prendre un coup. Le côté funky du nez disparaît quasiment (la note de colle arrive tardivement) au profit d’une sorte de Foursquare bis et alcoolique au possible : noix de coco, caramel, toffee, biscuit, épices douces (vanille, poivre) fruits secs et notes toastées sont de la partie, créant un bide assez tonitruant en bouche. Pour couronner le tout, l’alcool n’est pas bien intégré, il en est même une des saveurs principales. Un véritable revers de bâton après un nez pourtant prometteur. La finale, assez longue, ne donne guère plus d’attrait que le palais. Un peu d’épices, de notes fumées et de cuir qui viennent concurrencer les notes douces et la noix de coco fortement dosée en alcool. Clairement pas la référence dans le monde des rhums fidjiens, ni pour son embouteilleur.
06.03.2020 Met up with some colleagues to give a tasting at this old iconic place. Notes. Light to medium dark colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, citrus, rubber, pineapple, mint, anise. Palate Medium intense, light wood, faint smoke, coconut, pineapple, light licorice, light mint. Finish Medium to long, medium dry, light wood, spice, light chocolate.
Mixture between Belize and Foursquare. From Fiji is missing here almost everything. But no matter the part is good😋 roasted chocolate notes, leather, coffee beans, dried fruit. Delicious
Unfortunately not as complex on the palate than the nose would suggest. But it handles being sweet rather well.
