Berry Bros & Rudd Single Cask Fiji Rum (LMDW) 2009

8.3/10
Rated by Benoit Mahe, Zucker und Zeste & 12 more

One taster called it "sweet vanilla bisquit" with floral notes and litchi, and that lands — this Fiji leans vanilla-forward, a bit mineral, with sour cherry and a clear ester/solvent streak underneath. The 58% is well integrated but present; you work a little to pull the notes out. Several found the body medium and the finish on the shorter side for a 12-year-old.

  • Vanilla and litchi
  • Ester character
  • ABV well integrated

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.

Very good, typical Fiji with a nice round, buttery-vannish note!

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
