    Top 17% Fiji Rum & Co

    Surprisingly complex tropical matured Fiji rum that comes despite the only 46% not too thin. Nice combination of smoke, wine influence from the muscatel finish and slightly burnt caramel, tropical fruits like papaya, some mocha and pepper. Very round!

    Aromas of dried fruit and smoky wood. In the background there are still nuances of whiskey and a subtle sweetness that certainly comes from the muscatel barrel.

    A nice surprise this one. It did taste quite hot for its 46%, but went to a smooth ride over the palate soon afterwards. It is not overly complex, but has enough to it to qualify as a decent sipper. I am not so much into most wine cask finishes and would not buy this while there are so many other options, but it still is good.

    An insider tip for whisky drinkers. Well balanced with a clear focus on dark aromas of smoky wood and nuts.
