Petrol, glue and a whiff of fish oil — this Fiji doesn't ease you in. Under the funk sit citrus, grass and a light floral, tea-like nose, then a peaty, oily palate that turns spicy with nutmeg on the finish. Distinctly Fijian and proud of it. Several tasters loved the character; the fishy, briny edge is exactly what turns others away.

Clear and typical Fiji. This is an unmistakable rum, but the taste carries traces of fish oil (we agreed on the taste during the online tasting), which may put many drinkers off. In any case, it's a strong and strongly aromatic fiji that will, like any Fiji, divide
