South Pacific S.B.S Fiji 2004
For experienced palates, this 18‑year cask strength Fiji drinks surprisingly “Spanish-style”: chocolate, coconut, coffee and light fruit, with a long roasty finish. RumX members find it tasty but atypical and requiring water.
- Chocolate & coconut

High-ABV, chocolatey, atypical Fiji For experienced palates, this 18‑year cask strength Fiji drinks surprisingly “Spanish-style”: chocolate, coconut, coffee and light fruit, with a long roasty finish. RumX members find it tasty but atypical and requiring water.

Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or Fiji fans specifically hunting for heavy funk and trademark dirty, fruity esters.

Review by Schnapsschuesse
Messeverkostung, daher knapper: Nase hat Schokolade, Kaffee und Kokos. Im Mund sehr dick, etwas ölig und fruchtiger. Sehr ausgewogen.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly mild and oily for just under 69%. Aromatically, I would be blind to Barbados or Guatemala. But really tasty and felt eternal finish.
Review by Lot-NAS
Surprisingly good, I had to check twice to make sure I poured myself the correct sample. Blind I would have guessed this as a Worthy Park. Water is mandatory.
Review by DomM
Notes is quite alcohol forwards. Palate much better with medicinical notes, fruits and sweetness.
Review by zabo
Fiji Tasting mit Tasting DomM Im Vergleich zu den anderen Fiji die wir am Abend verkostet haben, hat dieser nicht ganz so gut abgeschnitten. Aber trotzallem kann man ihn gut trinken, aber es gibt weitaus bessere Abfüllungen und Jahrgänge aus diesem Land.
Review by Christian Rudt
Loses the comparison with the Nobilis from the same vintage, overall a bit too one-sided in taste, that was similar to the Nobilis but somehow ne corner rounder.
Review by Filip Šikula
Ve vůni tady sladké tóny, čokoláda, kokos, káva. V chuti ke znát vyšší abv, které mi nevadí, byť by mohlo být lépe integrivané. V chuti kokos dominuje s čokoládou v závěsu a celé je to trochu pálivé viz integrace výše.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Had a few extra samples that I tried on Saturday 😊 The nose is a bit light and the ABV shi es through because the integration is lacking. A bit out of balance but not a bad rum. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will bite you.

Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: nice and fruity on the nose, better than I remembered. Taste and finish, however, quite smoky (unchanged) Very light nose, very pleasing, no rough edges. Strongly alcoholic on the palate and a continuation of the nose, but with more barrel and roasted aromas. Toasty and unspectacular finish. Hmm, very atypical, alcoholic and not my taste, I miss the Fiji funk and fruitiness. Just about "good".
Review by Alex Kunath
"Thin" nose. Alcohol could be better integrated. Unfortunately little dirty on the tongue. Had already better from Fiji in the glass.

"Even if this is not a typical Fiji rum, the quality of the rum is on a good level. However, connoisseurs looking for the classic Fiji profile should consider other bottlings."Read full review →
