How does this rum taste?
- Fresh and aromatic nose
- Unique flavor profile
- Well-integrated alcohol
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 dĂ©routant. Le nez est dâabord assez timide, montrant dâailleurs des signes dâalcool ainsi que de lĂ©gĂšres notes de fĂ»t, dâĂ©pices et de caramel. LâaĂ©ration fait apparaĂźtre un cĂŽtĂ© plus beurrĂ©, 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 crĂ©meux. Si jusque-lĂ le profil Ă©tait intĂ©ressant, le palais va cependant en prendre un coup. Le cĂŽtĂ© funky du nez disparaĂźt quasiment (la note de colle arrive tardivement) au profit dâune sorte de Foursquare bis et alcoolique au possible : noix de coco, caramel, toffee, biscuit, Ă©pices douces (vanille, poivre) fruits secs et notes toastĂ©es sont de la partie, crĂ©ant un bide assez tonitruant en bouche. Pour couronner le tout, lâalcool nâest pas bien intĂ©grĂ©, il en est mĂȘme une des saveurs principales. Un vĂ©ritable revers de bĂąton aprĂšs un nez pourtant prometteur. La finale, assez longue, ne donne guĂšre plus dâattrait que le palais. Un peu dâĂ©pices, de notes fumĂ©es et de cuir qui viennent concurrencer les notes douces et la noix de coco fortement dosĂ©e en alcool. Clairement pas la rĂ©fĂ©rence 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 goodđ 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."
