How does this rum taste?
RumX tasters found this Fiji 2014 'Rum of the World' delivers a nose that surprises with 'esters, vernis, fruits tropicaux' (@Vincent D) and a hit of smoke mixed with varnish and alcohol. The palate follows with smoky, woody bitterness, where the cask's influence is hard to miss—'probably the wood but as if the rum had aged too fast in a too new barrel' (@Vincent D). There's a recognizable Fiji ester profile underneath and flashes of tropical fruit, but many highlighted the persistent bitterness and 'alcool vraiment mal intégré' (@Maxime Clr 🇫🇷) as a distraction from its brighter notes.

Sehr Säurelastig, sehr trocken, wenig Süße, Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden
This one was a disappointment but you can't always win the lottery. Probably best in a mixer. The nose is intense with fruit, varnish and smoke. The palate is fruity with smoky wood and light vanilla. The finish is long with smoky wood and vanilla. Overall I'd say a pretty unbalanced rum for sipping.
In der Nase Fidschi, Frucht gepaart mit Lack und Alkohol. Im Mund dann holzig eher bitter etwas rauchig aber das war es dann fast auch schon. Nicht schlecht aber eher enttäuschender Fidschi.
Nez surprenant pour un rhum des Fidji. Esters, vernis, fruits tropicaux. Puis de la colle et une odeur légèrement amère. Cette amertume se confirme en bouche. Probablement le bois mais comme si le rhum avait vieilli trop vite dans un fût trop neuf. Alcool très présent. Dommage car on a derrière ces éléments trop présents un profil bien fidjien avec des esters sucrés.
