Valinch & Mallet South Pacific Single Cask SPD 2004
Highly praised as a well-balanced, fruity, chocolatey Fiji that drinks softer than its 58.1%, though some find it a bit tame and not very typical or expressive for the distillery.
Enthusiasts who enjoy well-aged, higher-ABV rums with tropical fruit, wood and dark chocolate, and fans of Foursquare or light Trinidad-style profiles looking for a Fiji in that direction.

The nose is soft, and you can hardly imagine that we're approaching 60% on the meter. Fruity (tropical fruit), spicy with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it's just as round and smooth as the nose suggests. Tropical fruits line the palate. But that's not all: dark chocolate, peppery notes and caramel make for a very gourmet experience. The tasting is light, but with a long finish of brown sugar and Jonagold apple. If you're looking for Fiji typicity, you've missed out, as it's far from the usual standards.
Very unspectacular. Almost Spanish. Alcohol & wood. The highlight on the palate is a (very, very) slightly minty chocolate note. Not my cup of tea and not finished.
Far from typical Fiji rums: fruity, not funky at all and … much closer to a light Trinidad rum in my view. Not bad, but not what one expects from a Fiji though.
Light, fresh, fresh fruit, sea salt. The nose seems to be much more intense for this ABV… This is the time when palate are more interesting than on nose. Not bad, but not for this price IMO
