How does this rum taste?
The Asta Morris Rasta Morris Fiji Rum 2009 offers a distinctive blend of aromas and flavors, crafted at the South Pacific distillery. With a rich ester and smoky scent profile, this rum evokes tropical fruit schnapps notes, complemented by subtle smoky and funky undertones. On the palate, it presents a bold, smoky, meaty character with hints of salt and pepper, reminiscent of peaty whiskies. Aged 11 years with a robust 60.5% ABV, its limited release of 210 bottles captures an exotic essence. RumX users appreciate its fruity and smoky profile, though some find it a touch unbalanced or overly strong. Ideal for those seeking a unique addition to their rum repertoire.

Taste very bitter and astringent.
Du début à la fin les solvants et le fumé prennent trop de place, c'est dommage car après une très longue aération quelques notes pâtissières font quelques apparition (trop discrètement).
Tasted at Liquid Leuven ‘23, so my review remains rather concise. On the nose immediately clear why this is polarising. It’s an eclectic blend of esters, citrus and campfire smoke. Especially the smoky note is quite present. Opens reasonably sour with berrymix and lemon juice; counterbalanced with yellow banana and marzipan. Then heavily spiced with peppers, juniper and cloves, which segue into chamomile tea and dried grasses. A medicinal side takes over and drives the spirit into a wood smoke finish. The palate is similar to the nose. Aggressive, eclectic. There’s the addition of sour pineapple and a little bit of rubber, but the experience remains fruity, spicy, estery and primarily smoky. Despite all this, I still find it light and unbalanced. There’s unfortunately too little wood to tie it all together. More time in, or a more active barrel would have worked magic. The finish is medium long with notes of yellow banana, pineapple juice and marzipan, finishing again with esters and hay.
