Duncan Taylor South Pacific Single Cask Rum 2003
People who taste this tend to walk away happy, even a bit surprised. Expect pineapple and citrus up front, then a herbal, medicinal middle with honey, glue and a whiff of smoke — funky in the Fiji way. One taster called it "super fruity flowery stuff," another found it almost too clean. Dry, creamy, with the 53.8% well tucked in.
- Tropical fruit
- Funky esters
- Well-integrated alcohol

How does Duncan Taylor South Pacific Single Cask Rum 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Funky Fiji: pineapple, herbs, medicinal honey Most land in the high-7s to mid-8s: a fruity, funky Fiji with herbal, medicinal depth and good integration. A couple find it a touch too clean and less wild than other Fijis.

Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Super fruity flowery stuff. In the nose not unlike Jamaican/Hampden/Long Pond rum but also not a simple copy. More candied in the taste than smell.. Lots of tropical fruits. Some dryness/tannins in the taste. Even a whiff of peat. Sweet cinnamon. I simply love this. Many great flavours. Peppery aftertaste. Again those old Duncan Taylors were "bang for your buck".
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
11.04..2019 Enjoying some samples at home. Colour Light in colour. Nose Light wood, ester, faint smoke glue, fruits, light pineapple, spice, light licorice. Palate Intense, warm, light wood, ester, fruits, light glue, spice, faint smoke, light licorice, spicy, light citrus. Finish Long and warm, light wood, spicy, light varnish, light licorice, citrus, ester. Needs to rest for a good while to really open up.
Review by Kay Meertens
A clean profile, a bit too clean actually. Pineapple, glue, lime and white pepper. The finish is fruitier, like warm apple compote.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
very harmonious Fiji if you like sage, bicycle hose, nutmeg, cardamom and some honey. dry and smoky but not as much as I am used to from other Fiji's.
