Very thin, diluted, sweet daily rum. Paired with some nice notes of various fruits. It‘s a good one for beginners.

There is something about this rum that swings it off but I can't put my finger on it. The nose promisses a lot that the palate can't finish. Still wondering what tipped this one......

This is a mixed tropical and continental aged column still rum that I was pleasantly surprised by. Had I not looked it up I would've sworn this had at least some pot still in it, but I guess the Cognac casks just worked their magic. Tropical flavors for days, sweet and inviting, the kind of rum I'd put in front of just about anyone and they'd very likely enjoy it. It lacks the complexity to fly high but at 3 years aging and this price I'm not going to hold that against it. Would use in cocktails especially if I wanted a slightly sweet note to whatever I was making.

Alkoholisch, etwas flach, wenig Dimensionen. Etwas fruchtig und leicht. Plantation 20XO besser.

surprenant au début au nez, il reste tous de même agréable. En bouche il est sec, légèrement fruité et alcoolique avec une fin assez longue qui reste sur ce côté alcoolique et on sens par ou ça passe.

Der Geruch ist fruchtig, mit Klebstoff und Esteranteilen. Auch würzig und Holzig, etwas süß und leicht Funky-Dreckig. Der Geschmack ist etwas süß, fruchtig-würzig mit etwas Alkohol und Rauch.

Blumig, süß, etwas Klebstoff, Banane und Ananas. Mild und süffig im Geruch, leicht und angenehm. Im Mund dann etwas dünn, aber mit zwei klar definierten Seiten. Süß und blumig im Antrunk, danach setzen sich die esterigen Aromen recht mittig klar ab. Ein scharfer Wechsel, und ich denke genau hier glättet die Dosage honigartig ab. Gefällt mir sehr - allerdings habe ich keinen Vergleich zu anderen Fijis. Nachtrag: nach querbeet etwas mehr Fiji wirkt er doch relativ blass in der Charakteristik. Bleibt aber ein ganz guter Einstieg.

Zu dünn und zu süß, da hat Fiji mehr zu bieten. Für Einsteiger geeignet, die etwas Neues abseits der üblichen süßen Verdächtigen entdecken wollen

Really surprising as it was quite similar to Jamaican rum, a bit of esters and smell and taste reminded me of a home made booze made of various fruits such as plums. Not bad, very surprising though.

Ein sehr fruchtiger Fiji Rum der mir persönlich allerdings deutlich zu süß ist. Die Süße übersteuert dann auch etwas die Würznoten von Nelke und Ingwer im Abgang. Wäre der Rum weniger gezuckert würde er mir wahrscheinlich besser gefallen.

Le nez est surprenant mais en bouche il est facile à boire. Ce n'est pas le sucre qui ressort mais il est relativement doux. Rhum festif plus que de dégustation.
