    Very good Fiji. However, the alcohol is too present for a better rating.

    A beautiful expression of the Fiji Islands. The nose starts timidly with earthy notes, before giving way to an explosion of overripe exotic fruit, phenolic aromas (glue, solvents) of lime, as well as spicy notes and particularly heavy crème au caramel. There's also a touch of smokiness, which offsets the heavy sweetness in the nostrils. The funkiness is back, but fresher and more subtle than in Jamaica. The attack on the palate is gripping, covered by the acidity of the tropical fruit and citrus, and the warmth of the spicy, smoky flavors that embalm the palate. It's a little hard, but the fruit adds a nice roundness all the same. The flavors are fairly well balanced. The alcohol could be a little better integrated. The long finish is warm, bitter and astringent, with some barrel notes, exotic fruit, phenolic and smoky notes, but gains earthy, herbaceous notes and sweetness as it goes on. A beautiful bottle that demonstrates the undeniable expertise of this region of the world, too often overlooked.

    on the nose brutally sour funky currant / strawberry cream vanilla cake... really cool! 🍓💥🍰in the taste then clearly smokier, metallic acting with light pineapple and bitter orange / grapefruit notes, as well as a lot of nail polish, glue and recalls nice acidity. in the finish it goes then more towards cocoa, dark chocolate, smoke and then comes again metal and glue around the corner. if the fruit notes on the nose would prevail in the taste a little more, he would be perfect for me. so overall but for me a little too metallic and bitter in the finish...

    RumX Community Tasting Fiji 2001. Incense, vanilla, caramel, cedar, orange, vegetal and yellow fruit. The palate is a little disappointing compared to the nose. The alcohol is a little too present, and the toffee is marked. The finish is long, one-dimensional and caramelized. An unbalanced rum with little fruit, the barrel is too burnt, not to my taste.
