CDI South Pacific Fiji 2004

"Not typically Fiji" is the line that keeps coming up — this single cask leans quieter than the distillery's usual character. Expect raisins, caramel and a nutty, chocolatey palate that turns clearly sweet with clove and light wood. A couple of tasters find the body thin, one even calls it close to neutral; others just enjoy the fruit. Pleasant, easygoing, not loud.

The community says
  • Fruity and sweet
  • Nutty chocolate palate
  • But: Thin body

What's wrong with the 2004 vintage from South Pacific? It doesn't taste at all like Fiji, but very boring like neutral alcohol!

8.3/10

Good rum with a somewhat thin taste. Probably a little better at cask strength, but nice fruitiness. A little lacking in typical Fiji characteristics for my taste, but all in all a very good rum.

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.
