    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this ester-driven Fiji for its burst of tropical fruit with fresh citrus and a salty, mineral touch. Many notice the Jamaica New Yarmouth finish adding extra fruit and funk. On the palate, pineapple and overripe fruit lead to a dry, estery finish; the high ABV is generally well integrated. With 87 reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a standout value that also shines neat or in cocktails.

    Für mich in Summe ein signifikant unterschätzter Rum. Tolles Profil ähnlich den 2001ern, mit Plastik, Honig und Gewürzen. Das NY-Fass verleiht zusätzlich eine Fruchtigkeit, die dem Rum gut zu Gesicht steht. Einzig der nicht optimal eingebundene Alkohol und der etwas kurze Abgang verhindern eine noch höhere Bewertung. Zum Ausgabepreis (54,90 €) ein absoluter Preis-Leistungs-Kracher.

    Meiner Meinung nach ein unterschätzte Vertreter aus Fiji. Das Finisch im New Yarmouth Fass passt ausgezeichnet zum Fiji Profil. Insgesamt ein wenig scharfkantig aber auch mit viel Frucht und einer verblüffenden Trockenheit und leicht salzig. Hervorragendes P/L Verhältnis!

    Edit: Heute nochmal als CubaLibre probiert. Sehr feiner Mixer. Eignet sich m.E. sehr gut. Ein völlig unterbewerteter Rum m.E. nach oben korrigiert Als New Yarmouth Nerd, kann ich das Profil gut erkennen. Das Finish gewagt, außerhalb der Komfortzone, aber leider geil. Und für knapp über 50€ topp Preis Leistung

    Very delicious rum! Full load of esters and fruits with a cool fresh note! The alcohol is integrated well. The finish is long, dry, estery, fruity just delicious! The finishing has a high impact on this one! A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
