Fabuleux, puissant
Review by Gregor
Nose: rubber and an incredible fruit basket. Pineapple, ripe banana, coconut, pear, mango, passion fruit, manadrine peel, even some saffron, very cool! In the mouth: first a little rubber then passion fruit, sweet pineapple, tangerine, again a little saffron, hardly any alcohol, fantastic! Wonderful finish with tangerines and saffron, a little nutty, honey. Favorite rum! Tasted again at the Fiji Blindtasing, would give it maybe 1-2 tenths less today, but for me it's the best Fiji rum.
Review by Ian Gilman
Tried at Three Dots and a Dash. Tough to give a full review but really fantastic, industrial, full of spices and fruit.
Review by Buddudharma
Für mich der Gewinner des 3er Fiji 2001 - Tastings heute. Wunderbar ausbalanciert und komplex, nicht ganz so schön honigsüß wie der IdR, dafür mit mehr Reife und Körper. Großartig! Edit 08.03.2025: Für mich der klare Gewinner des 8er Tastings Fiji 2001. Geiler Stoff!
Review by cigares
Tasted blind and RumX Community Tasting Fiji 2001. A lively, complex nose of domesticated esters, overripe fruit, orange, spice, marzipan, cedarwood (cigar box) and glue. Cedarwood, pepper and spice dominate, followed by overripe fruit, leather and sea iodine. The finish is long, with apricot and freshness coming through at the very end. The empty glass is very complex, with pastries, varnish, overripe fruit and apricot. A magnificent Fiji rum!
Review by Mirco
RumX Fiji Crosstasting April 2024 Place 1/8 The best Fiji for me to date. 2001 is one of the best vintages in which this bottling ranks right at the top. Powerful through and through with a long elegant finish. Original rating: Grandiose bottling!!!! 😍
Review by Thunderbird
Fiji (Fidji) surprises me again and again... here again absolutely positive, the "Antipodes" totally picks me up. A beautifully complex nose with aromas of esters, dirt, fruit, plants and spices. A true explosion of flavors on the palate, oily and creamy, initially heavy sweetness, then fruit, spices and again a plantiness, which continues on the long finish... I need a bottle of this 😇
Review by Oliver
In the nose typical Fiji note. Very inviting. On the palate then comes a real fireworks. Dirty and wild with power. Crazy! Excellent Fiji rum!
Review by TheRhumhoe
A big surprise from LMDW, this Fijian rum is as aromatic and complex as you could wish for. On the nose, we find the island's funk with notes of olive brine, big medicinal notes (esters, solvents, nail polish), menthol, ripe tropical fruit, floral, vegetal and even empyreumatic notes with a hint of rubber. The nose is intense, rich and powerful, a veritable olfactory bomb. The attack on the palate is just as sumptuous, with lots of fruit (citrus, exotic fruit), fresh floral notes that perfume the palate like a perfume, lots of spices (nutmeg, vanilla, pepper, chili), roasted notes and also custard and caramel. The whole is rich, intense, complex, balanced and unmistakably round. The integration of alcohol approaches perfection. The finish is extremely long, sticking to the palate with its medicinal, empyreumatic, spicy and fruity notes. There's also a hint of caramel and chocolate. Probably one of the most accomplished Fijian rums to date, a veritable behemoth from the Pacific Ocean that invites us to travel.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
The first Fiji I've enjoyed in a long time. The typical burnt plastic note is there, as if you had forgotten your toy on the stove next to the pan with the French toast with banana. Aromatically extremely intense and long-lasting. It has something of red berry jelly, vanilla pulp, pineapple jam and burnt caramel. Great cinema! A funny anecdote: there was an elderly lady sitting next to me who asked me if that was my rum that smelled so delicious? She actually only drinks Don Papa and then ordered a glass and thought it was awesome 😅 and will now order it more often!

Outstandingly good Fiji 2001.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Top Fiji. Der Jahrgang gefällt mir einfach sehr gut. Wunderbar komplex, braucht aber etwas Zeit um zu Atmen und richtig zur Geltung zu kommen. Intensiv, vielschichtig mit klassischen Markern für den Jahrgang. Abgang hält lange an.
Review by Holle525
For me, very close to Isla del Ron Fiji 2001, which for me is still the Fiji reference.
