Review by Jackie Flannery
What do you get when blending Jamaican rum, young Guyana pot still and Isla whisky, all continental aged? Right! Let’s do 5 Fijians. SBS 2009 57% Rasta Morris 2009 60,5% Old Brothers 2011 59,1% Old Brothers 2009 63,3% The Nectar 2009 60,5% C: Light gold. N: How can butter be delicious in rum? How can mild olive oil be delicious in rum? Esters, granny apples, celery (without the tough strings), cucumbers, green grapes and phenols. And this is a new one “sweet pepino”, and no, that’s not a blend of sugar and cucumber, it’s a fruits I used to eat when little. Also known as melon pear. M: Smoky and in-your-face but believe me, elegant for such a young Fijian. What a rum! Lots of lime and pineapple. F: Short but nice. B: Can someone sell me a bottle or two please. Mine is almost finish.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un super rum fruité, floral et gourmand. Original et très plaisant.
Review by Djehey
Fiji simple mais efficace avec un alcool très bien intégré. Trame du début à la fin sur des fruits jaunes et exotiques, du beurre et un côté fumé. Très agréable malgré le haut degré. Un très bon rapport qualité prix.

Review by Frank
Ein relativ junger Fiji mir doch recht hohem ABV… Nase: schöne Fiji-Aromen mit Klebstoff-Ester, Honig, Joghurt und Bleistiftmine. Hinzu kommen gelbe Zitrone und Passionsfrucht. Die 63% sind echt gut eingebunden. Passt alles gut zusammen und gefällt mir. 8,4 Gaumen: hier fehlt etwas die Tiefe der Nase. Sehr intensiv, leicht bitter, Ester, Kupfer und dazu passende Zitronenschale. Würzig mit Salz und Muskat und leicht ölig. Insgesamt wirkt er trocken/adstringent. Eine längerer Reife hätte ihm durchaus gut gestanden. 8,0
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Überraschend würzig, röstig und holzbetont für nur 9y alt. Typische Fahrradschlauch-Gummi und röstaromatik kombiniert mit verbranntem Holz, Mokka, dunklem Kakao, Salzlake und etwas Papaya und Banane, sowie Muskatnuss. Solides Ding und Alkohol gut eingebunden aber insgesamt könnte hier mehr Komplexität sein und vor allem mehr Frucht.
Review by Johannes
Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden. Müsste mehr Reifezeit haben.
