„Nose typical Fiji. Overripe banana, mineral to herbal. Slightly peppery. On the palate, first sweet, honey, then alcohol. The mineral follows again. Quite tasty.“

„Bislang der schwächste Fiji in meiner Tastingrunde… hier passt so richtig nichts zusammen! In der Nase bis Abgang begleitet mich irgendwas künstliches … was mich stört aber nicht genau definieren lässt, der Barikenn und ich werden keine Freunde“

„Nach einiger Standzeit kommen neben Holz- und Gewürzen auch Tropische Früchte wie Mango, Papaya und Banane durch. Alkohol sehr präsent.“

„Der unausgereifteste Fiji im Tasting. Wirkt durchaus kantig. Insgesamt aber interessantes Geschmacks Profil. Wirkt mineralisch und leicht künstlich. Spannend. Hatte ich besser in Erinnerung.“

„Un rhum sympathique, mais qui manque un peu de caractère propre. Un caractère presque trop parfait.“

„Nez avec un côté fumé, épicé et solvants dominants En bouche les fruits tropicaux viennent s'ajouter aux notes du nez La finale est moyenne sur les épices (poivre ou piment) Un bon fiji“

„C’est plutôt bien fait. Sur le fruit. J’ai eu du mal au début même après plusieurs verres, du coup je l’ai laissé pendant un an au fond de l’armoire. Et je dois dire que ce que je bois aujourd’hui n’a plus rien à voir. Le côté « alcool » passe bcp mieux, il est plus doux et plus agréable à boire. C’est pas le meilleur fiji mais franchement c’est pas mauvais du tout. Beau produit“
