"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."

"Tasted at the Rumhouse in Prague. Very nice selection, expensive prices. But excellent ambience. On the nose the way I want Fiji to be. Solvent, rubber, ester and mowed lawn. Later comes neat wood to it. Flavor likewise how you want fiji, some ester and nice fruity notes with wood and dark spices, and some pepper. Only a few percent more for a better consistency would be desirable."
