7.7/10

Tasting date 17.09.2026 RX1711 Rum & Cane Fiji XO single cask. The nose gives off a classic Fiji funk, with added scents of glue and waxes. Notes of overripe fruits and citrus. The water irrigation introduces some light cardboard notes. Light floral and almost parfume fragrances. The mouth sensations begins with creamy and oily consistency, with tropical fruits notes and green apples and pears. The end notes has same light floral sweetness. Residual taste is warm and fruity with light vanilla spice. Some green fruity bitterness at the end. Herbal and green tea lightly merges. Medium long residual taste ends up with cardboard notes due to the water irrigation. The glass: Smoke and sour tobacco. Tasting “In the cave”

7.8/10

No big surprise with Fiji, the markers are there. On the nose we recognize very well the profile of this distillery: green tea - waxy and pastry. Embellished with notes of citrus and glue. In the mouth it is round and earthy. It is creamy and buttery. With a pronounced vanilla note. A herbaceous finish with a slight bitterness. This single cask clearly takes the typical markers of the Fijian soil. But it lacks craziness and this is a pity for a budget of a little less than 100€. This is the budget for a Samaroli.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
