Review by Jack M
Tasted against the Plantation Fiji ‘under the sea’ 2009. The MoM bottling is a great rum for a fantastic price. Fruity, funky nose leads into a rich, creamy toffee, butter taste. It is easily superior to the Plantation Fiji with a great punchiness, complexity and interesting flavours - wow the butteriness. The plantation is still good but smoothed out and more generic.

Tasted 27-10-2024 This is an incredible rum for the price which is why it scores so high .
Review by Dw117
Very complex and industrial but sweet. Like a continental aged PM with some funk. Now tasting at 48%: still very powerful. 99% dark chocolate on nose and especially dry chocolate roasted finish. Rubber and coffee. Really quite a beast, but somehow not 8.5+ due to ferocity. Amazing value. Also rumour that Fiji casks are disappearing so glad to have it.
Review by RumStoo
Excellent rum. Lovely bits of chocolate, crème brûlée, butter, burnt sugar and vegetal notes. 61% very well rounded with a medium finish with little burn for that ABV. Lovely funk to this too. Value for money, easy drinking and a cracking bottle.
Review by Michael Schou
14-02-2025 Decent Fiji rum. Had expected some more fruit and power. Something in the aftertaste that I can’t put a word to, but did not like it. Perhaps a mix of smoke and pepper. One for the books and not necessarily a retaste.
Review by Eemil
Sweet tropical fruits and vanilla pudding on the nose. Sweet caramelized/honey overripe fruits and vanilla pudding on the palate.
Review by John W
Lots of sweet grassy sugarcane flavours, very estery with the intensity tamed by toffeeish notes from the cask, juicy pineapple, some herbaceous notes, slight aniseed, a feeling of creaminess. This is an absolute banger of a rum, and for £49.99 it’s a steal!

Light, floral and funky. Boozy on the nose but light in the mouth .
