How does this rum taste?
- Tropical fruit aroma
- Distinct ginger and pepper notes
- Complex mineral taste
The Fiji FPBP by Barikenn offers a robust profile distinctive to its 2012 distillation and 8-year aging at the South Pacific distillery. Bottled at cask strength with 58.5% ABV, this limited edition of 291 bottles presents a sensory experience. Users describe the nose with intense tropical fruit, banana, and hints of fermentation and solvents. The palate features a blend of ginger, peppery notes, and mineral undertones, concluding with subtle honey. While flavors of overripe banana and mineral complexities are appreciated, the pronounced alcohol presence is noted. A mix of tropical flavors and spicy undertones make this a compelling but polarizing choice for rum enthusiasts.

To South Pacific
"Nose typical Fiji. Overripe banana, mineral to herbal. Slightly peppery. On the palate, first sweet, honey, then alcohol. The mineral follows again. Quite tasty."
"So far the weakest Fiji in my tasting round ... here fits so right nothing together! In the nose to finish accompanies me something artificial ... which bothers me but can not be defined exactly, the Barikenn and I will not be friends"
"Smoky finish that I don't like. Nice entry-level wine"
"Good blend of tropical fruits with some wood topped with a ginger spiciness to the taste."
