    RumX members praise this 2004 South Pacific cask strength for its unusually rounded, Barbados-like profile. Vanilla and burnt sugar lead, backed by roasted wood and dark chocolate, with touches of citrus and black tea. Despite 59.8% ABV, the alcohol is very well integrated, making it easy to sip neat. With 54 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a popular choice for low-ester, balanced Fiji.

    Uhu schnüffeln für Rum Nerds die zu Weihnachten gerne noch geröstete Mandeln essen. Geschmack nur wenig fruchtig und die Süße kommt eher von Schokolade und weihnachtlichem Gebäck. Alkohol ist sehr gut integriert.

    Barbade style very sweet on vanille and coco then fiji classical taste come at the end

    Heute mal eine Fiji-Kreuzverkostung. Es treten an: - Cadenheads 2003er 13yr - Isla Del Ron 2001er 19yr - Cave Guildive 2001er 15yr - The Duchess 2004er 15yr Der Duchess, was soll ich sagen, der wohl untypischste Fiji im Test, oder sogar den ich je im Glas hatte. Bin ich zu weich für die 2001er, keine Ahnung. Blind hätte ich ihn wohl nach Australien oder Barbados geschickt. Ich finde ihn sehr rund an der Nase, feine Würze,süße von gebranntem Zucker und das fruchtige von Zitrus und Kokosnuss. Das ganze setzt sich am Gaumen fort. War es Eingebung das ich sie schon nach Platzierung aufgestellt habe? 🤷‍♂️ Auf jeden Fall mein Platz 1 im Ranking, obwohl völlig untypischer Fiji. Wer weiß woran das heute lag!? 😉

    I was actually in the mood for somethin Bajan for the first time since long and remembered that I still had the rest this sample. Most atypical Fiji I’ve ever tasted, you would guess it to be Foursquare or something similar. Nonetheless very enjoyable and just wat I wanted now.
