Typical Fiji profile. Dirty and funky with rubber, leather, and wood but also some fruit like pineapple and citrus. Not particularly well-balanced, which is kind of part of the South Pacific style. What I like about this bottling are the honey notes.

7.0/10

On The Rocks: On the nose a moderate citrus fruit and floral notes and alcohol with underlying spice and oak. Taste brings a moderate spice and oak with fruit, floral and sweetness carrying through. Finish is medium in citrus fruit and sweetness. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose Mild leather. Taste is a very strong leather taste with a short finish. I do not recommend accidentally snorting it because it has a delayed burn and is unpleasant. Lmao.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
