How does HoneyBatcher GmbH South Pacific Fiji 2020 taste?
Intense funky Fiji fruit bomb
If you enjoy young Jamaican-style funk or Fiji 2001 vintages, this hits similar estery, dirty-fruity notes at 65% with great value and virgin oak spice to keep things exciting.
Those sensitive to high ABV or who dislike sour, plastic/glue and dirty funk notes; newcomers looking for soft, sweet 40% sippers will likely find this too intense.
How is HoneyBatcher GmbH South Pacific Fiji 2020 rated?
With the Honey Badger's second strike, the bottler remains true to its line and hits the mark aromatically. This time even more so than the Ghana Rum. Everyone has to decide for themselves what they like better, but for me Fabian has gone one better. The experiment with the Virgin Oak is interesting. It is well known that these new barrels quickly contribute a lot of barrel aromas. However, the fantastic fruity notes remained, especially on the nose. Then they dipped briefly, only to shine through again in the finish. Of course, I didn't witness the maturation process, but I would say that a much longer time in the barrel wouldn't have made the rum any better and it was probably taken out of the barrel at its peak. And it makes me look forward to the future as far as rum from Fiji is concerned, because it seems to be a good vintage, of which hopefully some is still slumbering in other barrels.

Edit: Jetzt auch nochmal als Mixer probiert. Da find ich ihn echt spitzenmäßig und noch süffiger im Geschmack. Deshalb noch mal nach oben korrigiert. Der zweite Honeybatcher ist echt super gelungen. Meinen Respekt, was für ein super Tropfen. Tolles Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Die 65% sind so gut wie nicht wahrnehmbar, was ihn wiederum gefährlich macht. Vermutlich hätte ich bei einer Blindverkostung eher auf Jamaica als Fiji getippt. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Kommt als Mixer bestimmt auch gut, was ich noch ausprobieren werde.
Oh wow, für mich ein fantastischer Rum. Eine schöne Note von tropischen Früchten und Zitrusfrüchten. Echt lecker. Die 65% schmeckt man kaum. Perfekt eingebundenbin den Rum der Alkohol. Ein echter Top Rum. Lecker.
This is a cool and powerfull bottling. Nose: Ester, glue, nail polish, funky, trop. fruits, citrus and a strange plastic note. Palate: Ester, fruity, roasted almonds, honey, spicy (due the young age) Finish: is medium-long, fruity, woody, astringend, tobacco and black tea
So … am frühen Sylvesterabend sind wir ja alle etwas näher an der Datumsgrenze gebaut … Zeit für den neuen Honey Batcher aus Fiji 🇫🇯 Schlechte Fijis gibt’s ja wie Sand am Meer, aber hier ist mal wieder ein schöner Jahrgang. Sehr jung, aber durch das Virgin Oak wirklich eine cool gelungene Reife. Der Rum bringt wieder viel von dem mit, was man an den 2001 so schätzt. Wachs, Plastik, Frucht, Funk. Echt lecker, schön dreckig und geiler Preis. Für mich topt der Fiji Honeybatcher den Ghana bei weitem und hat ein echt geiles PLV. Hut ab Fabi!
