Fiji Rum & Co Ratu Dark Premium Rum
Rubber, smoke and burnt-tire notes on the nose, then vanilla sugar and chocolate on a thin, sometimes hot palate. A few tasters call it a decent, not-too-demanding first taste of the Fiji profile; plenty of others find it too sweet and artificial, almost liqueur-like. One reviewer summed it up: it "just doesn't quite work." Better mixed than sipped for most.
The community says- Smoky finish

How does Fiji Rum & Co Ratu Dark Premium Rum taste?
Aggregated from 59 community reviews.
Thin, sweet Fiji rum, better mixed Divisive, and mostly on the low side. Beginners find it an easy Fiji intro; more experienced drinkers call it thin, artificially sweet and chemical, with a rubbery nose that turns people off.

Review by Stefan Persson
It’s a blend of pot and column still rum, which I can’t recommend. The nose is floral and woody with scents of grass and young wood. At the palate it’s fruity, floral and woody with flavors of coconut, grass, rubber and bourbon. The finish is medium long.

Süß, süßer, Ratu.
Review by Timo Groeger
Fand ihn im ersten Eindruck echt schlecht, nachdem er etwas geatmet hat, wurde es besser. In der Nase sehr künstlich und junges Holz. Im Gaumen ist er sehr kräftig und ein Hauch von Vanille und Schokolade. Alkohol ist nicht gut eingebunden.

I like to use this rum in a pineapple mixer. 5 cl of rum 5-10 cl of fresh pineapple juice A very refreshing drink. If you want it a bit more fresh, try to add a squeeze of lime.
Review by Jakob
Das Fiji-Profil ist vor allem in der Nase sehr typisch präsent. Am Gaumen wird das Ganze dann durch Vanillezucker ergänzt, der - für Fiji - etwas ungewöhnlich daherkommt. Finde ich das Ganze als Fiji auf Einstiegslevel ansprechend, da die grundsätzliche Komplexität der South Pacific-Releases vorhanden ist, gleichzeitig aber nicht gänzlich überfordern. Sehr solider Einstiegsrum.

Mit Peitinger Rezent probiert. Mit Käse lecker, ohne leider viel zu künstlich.
Review by Johannes
Etwas dünn, aber ein guter Fiji-Rum für Einsteiger!
Review by Romain de L
That’s really not a great one… nose is quite uninteresting but especially the taste is not enjoyable - even for discovery purposes. Bland, still some alcohol / I would stay away for this one even if from Fiji
Review by JFehr
Deutlich zu süß und beißend

Naja…. Nicht sehr überzeugend
Review by Morgan Garet
Nez assez sympa avec quelques solvants, en bouche c'est léger sur du solvants très léger et des épices. À peine avalé il disparaît
Review by Tyler Griffith
Very, very earthy and vegetal. A bit of citrus on the finish. Pot/column blend gives it a weird, funky taste.
Review by Christian Rudt
Interessant. Nase bringt etwas Klebstoff was nach ein paar Minuten im Glas ganz angenehm ist. Am Gaumen leider sehr dünn. Dafür eine schöne Rauchigkeit im Finish.

Rauch und Gummi. Verbrannter Autoreifem

Rhum énormément fixé sur les éthers, désagréable à mon goût . Assez déçu par cette découverte.
