CDI South Pacific Fiji 2004
One reviewer summed it up as "Light to medium dark," with light wood, coconut and clove on the nose and a fresh, spicy, faintly smoky palate. Others find dried fruit, raisin, chocolate and a clearly sweet streak. The recurring catch: a few tasters say it doesn't taste much like Fiji, and one called it close to neutral spirit. Pleasant, fruity, a touch thin.
- Fruity, raisin notes
- Nutty chocolate palate
- Easy 44% strength

How does CDI South Pacific Fiji 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Fruity, gently sweet, slightly thin Fiji Mostly liked: fruity, gently sweet, with raisin and nutty chocolate notes. The common gripe is that it tastes thin and short on the usual Fiji character — one found it almost neutral.

Review by Lukas Jäger
Guter Rum, der geschmacklich etwas dünn daher kommt. In Fassstärke wohl etwas besser, aber schöne Fruchtigkeit. Für meinen Geschmack etwas wenig typische Fiji-Charakteristik, aber alles in allem sehr guter Rum.

Review by Nando70
Un joli nez floral fruité et le tout dans la douceur de la réglisse... Un bon moment en préparation? Une bouche complexe florale épicée servie par un degré alcoolique bien dosé... Une fin moyenne courte qui laisse la douceur de la mélasse. N'hésitez pas à faire revenir les arômes dans le nez... Celà intensifie cette caractéristique de mélasse... Un très bon Rhum qui vous invite aux Fidjis et aux voyages
Review by Daniel
Nase: Getrocknete Früchte wie Rosinen mit schokoladigen Aromen und süßlichen Tendenzen, Karamell. Gaumen: Der Rum weiß mit nussigen und schokoladigen Aromen zu verwöhnen. Deutlich süß mit würzigen Beiklängen. Abgang: Getrocknete Früchte, leicht holzig. Fazit: Gefälliger Rum mit deutlich süßen Tendenzen.

Was ist nur mit dem Jahrgang 2004 von South Pacific los? Schmeckt gar nicht typisch nach Fiji, sondern sehr langweilig nach Neutralalkohol!
