Review by Mc Pirate
Attractive color, complex nose of well-controlled oak. Frank, strong and greedy on the palate, not for light rum lovers. Long, complex finish
Review by Fleg Mon
Viel Charakter. Sehr schön zum sippen.
Review by Andzin
For the money excellent bottle. Not sure why lower ratings by others. But true is that you would expect more complexity from 19y. But again, for that money? No question
Review by Master P
Price / performance quite i.O. Had me for the 19 years but expected a bit more flavor. Typical Plantation
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Fiji Plantation with a fair amount of sweetness and wisdom for its advanced age. The nose evokes exotic fruits with a floral touch, followed by medicinal esters. Woody vanilla, roasted notes and spices complete a profile that's simple enough in itself, but effective in its register. The attack on the palate is a little drier, marked by spicy wood and lightly roasted notes. There are almost tannin-like notes. Later, the fruitiness and sweetness of the bourbon come to the fore, becoming dominant in the glass. A nice profile on the palate, but lacks vivacity, life and personality, which is a shame given the age of the juice. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is relatively long, but offers nothing new in terms of smell or taste. Floral and medicinal notes mingle with exotic fruits, while sweet spices and woodiness try to break through, but to no avail in this aromatic masquerade. A profile from the One Time series, which I'd also only drink once, due to its lack of fantasy.
Review by Rene Nielsen
Tasting 18/4-24 Peters Vin. Nose: Dried fruit,vanilla, little coconut. Taste: Again some different fruits, citrus, red berries, banana. Finish: Some dryness, caramel, oak and a light smokiness. A rum well worth the price.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Bold and sour taste with quince, citrus peel and coconut, followed by balsamic and cinnamon. Long aftertaste of smoked molasses, cocoa, almond, cherry, apple and cloves.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Ganz netter und leckerer Fiji rum, wenn auch eher untypisch und eher spanisch wirkend oder an Barbados Rum erinnernd. Schokolade, Kaffee, Mokka und Karamell trifft auf Zitronenschale, Kirsche und Banane. Kann man definitiv trinken. Für den Preis allemal. Ist aber trotzdem insgesamt für einen Fiji rum eher eindimensional und nicht ganz so ausdrucksstark und intensiv.

17.11.2023 Another retasting and I still think that price to quality is pretty good. ---------- #4116 First off, the price to quality is very good in my mind. A fruity rum with nice balance in wood and spices. The palate is warm, sweet and oily. There is a nice floral touch to the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is nice with some smoke and coconut.
Review by Johannes
The 2004 vintage from Fiji is truly a phenomenon - it has absolutely nothing to do with the typical Fiji profile. Boring, little flavor, lots of neutral alcohol. This is also the case here.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Too much Plantation and too little Fiji. I would have expected more from a 19-year-old rum from Fiji.
