Romdeluxe South Pacific Wild Series Rum No. 56 Fiji (13. German Rumfest) 2024
Three years old and it drinks like a much bigger rum — glue, overripe tropical fruit and honey up front, with a savoury umami streak several tasters keep flagging. More than one person swears it could pass for a tropical Long Pond blind. The 60% is well integrated until the finish, where it turns wild and a touch hot. That sunbaked-plastic note polarizes, but the fruit reins it in.
The community says- Estery umami depth
- Ripe pineapple fruit
- But: Hot, wild finish

Review by Ondra RumRunner
Romdeluxe Wild Series Rum No. 56 Fiji je výrazný single cask rum pocházející z Fidži. Tento rum vyniká svým intenzivním profilem plným esterů, tropického ovoce a fermentovaných tónů. Vůně je hluboká, s náznaky lepidla, kůže a přezrálého ovoce, doplněná tóny tropického ananasu a opražených elementů. Chuť je výrazná, suchá, ovocná, s jasnými tóny ananasu a komplexními fermentovanými akcenty, které přecházejí do dlouhého, intenzivního závěru. --- English Romdeluxe Wild Series Rum No. 56 Fiji is a bold single cask rum from Fiji. This rum stands out for its intense profile full of esters, tropical fruits, and fermented notes. The nose is deep, with hints of glue, leather, and overripe fruit, complemented by tropical pineapple and roasted elements. The palate is intense, dry, and fruity, with prominent pineapple tones and complex fermented accents leading to a long, powerful finish. --- Deutsch Romdeluxe Wild Series Rum No. 56 Fiji ist ein kraftvoller Single-Cask-Rum von den Fidschi-Inseln. Dieser Rum besticht durch sein intensives Profil voller Ester, tropischer Früchte und fermentierter Noten. Die Nase ist tief, mit Anklängen von Klebstoff, Leder und überreifen Früchten, ergänzt durch tropische Ananas und geröstete Elemente. Am Gaumen zeigt er sich intensiv, trocken und fruchtig, mit ausgeprägten Ananastönen und komplexen fermentierten Akzenten, die in einen langen, kraftvollen Abgang übergehen.
Review by RumTaTa
This Fiji rum immediately won me over at the GRF13. Now it's time to test whether I was right at the fair - it's not easy with so many tastings in such a short space of time. I find the nose alone stunning: I can clearly smell strong tropical long pond umami notes here, awesome! This is a nose that I like to linger over for a long time. I also find the great tropical Long Pond umami notes on the palate and in the finish, and not just a little but a full load! I wouldn't be at all surprised if, in a blind tasting, many an expert here thought they had a tropical 2005 Long Pond in their glass. There is an interesting minty note in the finish. Not as strong as in the well-known T.D.Ls, but clear. The alcohol is very well integrated. Very good, extremely unusual Fiji, I will probably need a second bottle.
Review by zabo
I'm torn as to how good I really think it is. From memory of the previous Fiji from the vintage I had in my glass, this one from the Wild Series lives up to its name. It is wilder than the others. I'll probably compare it with others again when I get the chance.
Review by Dr.Django
Ein sehr besonderer Rum mit Ester und Früchten en mass, die irgwndwie plastisch wirken. Das Mundgefühl ist warm ölig angenehm und gleichzeitig irgendwie sehr wild. Ich schmecke hier eine ganz besondere (tolle) Note heraus, die mir sehr vertraut ist, die ich aber nicht definieren kann. Der Alkohol top eingebunden, der Abgang ist lang und mit eben benannter Note im Vordergrund. Vielen Dank @ Rumtata für das Sample! Ich brauche jetzt aber eine Flasche =D
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024. A full, rich nose of yellow fruit and banana. A very interesting umami note that lingers throughout the tasting. The entry is supple, with the same aromas as on the nose, plus a few esters. The finish is short/medium, but the fruity aromas and umami linger much longer. A surprisingly well-balanced and interesting rum for its age (3 years). All it needs is a little more depth.
Review by Galli33
I tried this at the GRF 2024. Very nice nose, glue, fruity etc. On the palate it was to flat, but the finish had a very cool long lasting minty note. You can love it or hate it… At the end of the day for me it was a good rum, but to harsh and to expensive as a daily sipper, so I didn’t bought a bottle.
Review by Master P
Nachverkostung GRF 2024 Geruch süß und Karamell mit fruchtcoktail. Am Gaumen dann noch megr Süße Richtung honig und leichtem fasseinfluss. Die 60% sind ganz gut integriert ausser beim Abgang da wird er etwas wild und alkoholisch. Eigentlich ein schönes ding nur zu süß und eindimensional.
Review by Karl Heinz
Sehr schöner Fiji Rum, eine von zwei Flaschen die ich auf dem Rum Festival gekauft habe. Fiji finde ich preislich noch sehr interessant, für mich manchmal wie eine Mischung aus Barbados und Jamaika. Das geringe Alter lässt den Rum keineswegs weniger komplex erscheinen.
Review by Thunderbird
GRF13: An unusual Fiji for me... somehow artificial and fruity in taste, somehow interesting, but not quite my cup of tea... but on the other hand, something new in the glass again. It will certainly find its fans
Review by Schnubbi
Junger Fiji mit krassem Virgin Oak Einschlag, was aber überraschend gut funktioniert. Dennoch für mich eher Kategorie "interessant" als ein Highlight. Abgang auch eher kurz.
Review by Martin Švojgr
A pretty good Fiji that is palatable and has no weird aftertaste. The finish is alcohol-warm 😉
