One taster's first Fiji, and the note that sticks is vanilla — soft, buttery, "sweet vanilla biscuit" up front. Around it sits solvent and varnish, a touch of sour cherry, floral lychie and a mineral edge. At 58% the alcohol is fairly well integrated but you work around it to reach the fruit. Light-to-medium body, short dry finish.
The community says- Buttery vanilla note
- Balanced at 58%
- But: Short dry finish

How does Berry Bros & Rudd Single Cask Fiji Rum (LMDW) 2009 taste?
Summarized by AI from 15 community reviews.
Vanilla-forward Fiji with light solvent funk A pleasant, balanced Fiji most enjoy but few call unforgettable — several wish it had more length and a rounder counterpart to the sour cherry.

#7084 26.07.2026 Relaxing with a few samples while watching the Da Vinci Code. Pretty nice rum with a good price tag at release in my mind. Intense profile with fruits, petrol spice, honey, mint and roasted wood.
Review by Christian Rudt
Here I like the impact of sour cherry quite well. I'm missing a little counterpart that makes the whole thing rounder then you would have a lot of fun. So ultimately for me on a level with the SBS
Review by Benoit Mahe
An original profile. It reminds me a bit of the Fiji from Old Brothers which is also a 2009. Compared to the latter, it is a bit more mellow. It is also a little more diluted which takes away some texture. A balanced and pleasant rum.
Review by Mentalo
Once again a 2009 Fiji from Berry Bros & Rudd. Vanilla, mineral, slightly fruity. The alcohol is well integrated. Not a bad release, but also not one that will stay in memory for long.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
First time? sipping rum from Fiji. Beautiful golden colour. On the nose: Quite intense industrial solvent with hints of grass on background. I let the rum rest for a while and then i get more of sour and floral notes. Little bit of ester. Round, balanced and the high abv is present. Taste: Quite vanilla forward. Taste reminds me a little bit of sweet vanilla bisquit. Floral notes and litchi.Alcohol is integrated for a high abvquite well, but you still have to work around it to get the notes. Medium body, not that much of barrell influence for a 12 year old rum. Finish:Quite short and dry. Maybe due the mild flavour profile the finish was quite mild. Interesting experience. Maybe i have to revisit this somewhere in the future to see if find more interesting and diverse notes.
Review by Johannes
Very good, typical Fiji with a nice round, buttery-vannish note!
Review by John Coffey
Very good fiji. Nice texture in the mouth. Lacks length...
Review by Harald
Color: straw yellow Smell: Sweet and floral with lots of vanilla and distinct ester aromas (solvent and varnish). Round, the alcohol is relatively well integrated in the smell. Taste: Sweet and fruity (lychee) in the mouth with solvent and esters before the alcohol takes command. Also clearly fruity when swallowing with esters, solvent, varnish and mineral aromas. Also some wood, anise and caraway. Alcoholic spicy-sharp. Finish: Long and alcoholic-warming. Vanilla, ester and some wood. Dry in the aftertaste. 85 points
