Review by Frank
Won a sample set of the 4 new Sea Shepherd from Kirsch. THANK YOU 🙏. Here is the continental matured pot still molasses rum from Fiji... Nose: mmhhh, intense, concentrated, delicious. Fiji essence. Sweet glue and solvent, esters, tropical fruits. Passion fruit and physalis. Almost honey sweetness with citric acid. Now comes the typical buttery yoghurt note with workshop oil and pencil lead. I like it very much. 8.5 Palate: a great Fiji experience here too. Glue and esters with varnish, mechanic's oil and pencil lead. Buttery with licorice and wooden barrel. I can't say much more. Pretty good. 8.5
Review by Lukas Jäger
For tasting as a sample directly from Kirsch. Fiji, how I love you. Beautiful, middle-aged Fiji rum. Almost unusually round, the classic plastic note is very discreet. What surprises me is the herbal note, which reminds me most of pencil. Pencil in Fiji? The attentive reader will discover a hint of rum cask maturity. So not a classic bourbon cask, but a rum cask that has already been used. Possibly Guyana, even Enmore? Unfortunately, this is not stated on the sample, but perhaps we'll find out. Otherwise, a bottling that I really like!
Review by Master P
Super bottling, from the new series that I like best. Amazing ester and sweet fruits at first. Pleasant buttery stickiness on the palate, with honey and overripe fruit. Alcohol is also well integrated.
Review by Bavarian Rum Lover
After pouring the sample, the glass exudes intense high ester and sticky notes that immediately scream "Jamaica". Surprisingly, after a little standing time, slightly vegetable aromas are added. This profile continues in the mouth, especially the grassy, green notes that linger on the front tip of the tongue and repeatedly hint at Haiti. There is also a slight, but not unpleasant bitterness and herbal note. You get the impression of having a blend from Jamaica (Long Pond) and Haiti (Clairin Sajous) in your glass. The alcohol is perfectly integrated at 65% and doesn't bite in the mouth in any way. Somehow a wacky and interesting profile that you should definitely try.

Review by Johnny Rumcask
The Fiji esters and alcohol immediately flood the nose. In the mouth it is again very alcoholic, so that undiluted there is little to perceive in terms of taste apart from the esters (hardly any fruit, sometimes drifting into bitterness, a little cardboard and cardboard). The rum opens up a little with plenty of time. Overall, more brute than complex, which is probably due in particular to the alcohol content.
