Part 5 of the Fidji tasting. Blind tasted I would have held this Devil in a simple and diluted blend with Spanish and rum from Trinidad! He definitely does not taste like Fidji, but is quite okay!

Interestingly medicinal flavor profile with some wood, cocoa on the nose, milk chocolate in the mouth paired with mocha. Dried fruit in the background. Untypical Fiji that is still fun to drink.

Probiert im Rumhouse in Prag. Sehr schöne Auswahl, teure Preise. Aber ausgezeichnetes Ambiente. In der Nase so wie ich mir Fiji wünsche. Lösungsmittel, Gummi, Ester und gemähter Rasen. Später kommt ordentlich Holz dazu. Geschmacklich ebenfalls wie man sich fiji wünscht, etwas ester und schöne fruchtige Noten mit Holz und dunklen Gewürzen, sowie etwas Pfeffer. Lediglich ein paar Prozente mehr für eine bessere Konsistenz wären wünschenswert.
