„What a great nose. Honey, smoke, fruit etc. Complex, perfectly balanced.In the mouth then the full load of plastic. Warm and strong, again a lot of honey.At the end you suck on a leather bag (real or yet imitation leather?).Geil. Really not my Beuteschema, but has surprised me positively.😄“

„This was a huge surprise and I can only recommend it. The price at release was really good compared to what you get. Fruity rum with some medicinal notes and nice roasted wood. There is a light tar note in there that I like. In the empty glass there is a nice smoky note after a while. Draws really nice curtains.“

„This is so great! The nose is typical Fiji plus an intense honey note that ties everything together. In the mouth incredibly creamy, complex and intense: sage tea with honey, candied Greek sesame sticks and olives in brine. Then in the finish more sage tea and a little more wood, which shows itself in light spice without becoming unpleasantly bitter.alcohol is very well integrated and the finish long and smooth!“

„Wow, what a nice round nose. Fruity yet somewhat artificially medicinal. It comes after some time an almost buttery yogurt note with banana, papaya and honey. Plus something old, resinous or even a bit earthy. Vanilla and a hint of fresh mint come in.Spicier on the palate and bitter at first with a caramel note. Then come fruity flavors of currant, sour cherry and peach. Again, the old earthy and resinous; old newsprint. Clove and vanilla. Finishes a bit soapy.Tasty and interesting. More rounded than the RA.Great old Fiji.“

„Die Nase ist echt schön Fruchtig und intensiv und sehr harmonisch. geschmacklich dann zwar typisch rauchig, medizinisch nach Fiji allerdings mit kaum Frucht und mir persönlich etwas zu bitter, verbrannt, seifig & medizinisch nach Jod (Betaisodona) auch mit einer seltsamen, mich störenden vergorenen Säure, fast schon Kompost & essigartig. ganz zum Schluss kommt etwas Banane & Ananas, aber auch etwas Tabak. ganz solide und lecker aber insgesamt für mich nicht stimmig. da kann der cave Guildive 2001 deutlich mehr!“

„Was für eine Granate! Die volle Ladung Frucht, Plastik und Metall! Während andere, ältere Abfüllungen aus Fiji mir etwas zu brav sind, hat sich der IdE den wilden Fiji-Charakter erhalten. Trotzdem wahnsinnig rund und ausgeglichen, der macht richtig Spaß!“
