Buy this for the Fiji funk and you might be surprised: the tawny port finish takes the wheel. Expect dark chocolate, red-wine berries, sweet caramel and a spicy, leathery finish. Several tasters found it a real "Schoko-Bombe" that's nicely balanced, though a few wished the Fiji character (thyme, honey, smoke) came through more. At 61.5% the heat is clearly there.

How does CDI South Pacific Fiji 2010 taste?
Summarized by AI from 24 community reviews.
Port-finished Fiji, all dark chocolate and red wine Well liked as a chocolatey port-finished sipper that's balanced and intense. The honest catch: the port can bury the Fiji character, so it could be from almost anywhere.

The port finish is quite pronounced. Fits the Fiji but well! Proper "chocolate bomb".

Sample poured and while searching RumX I found out it has a Tawny finish😅 I like Port wine since I was able to visit Porto twice so please😁 The nose already shows what's up. Decent wood but feels more from the finish. Vanilla rather in the background. This continues on the palate, berry aromas and taste of dark chocolate come through and unfortunately also a bit too much alcohol. In the finish more spicy, red fruit remains present but also the alcohol. An interesting bottling anyway.
Review by Rene Nielsen
Very Nice Fiji, first taste is spicy, oak, and white peber. Long port cask finish
Review by Tobin
Disappointing compared to other awesome Fijis - unfortunately confirms the mediocre impression of CDIs...

#4554 18.01.2024 Flipping a few samples today ☺️ A nice medium fruity rum with light glue on the nose. The palate is intense yet fresh with a touch of cherry. The finish is medium long with natural sweetness to it. The empty glass has light nutts and faint Cafe latte.
Review by Carlitooo
Too port wine heavy, Fiji barely comes through. Could have been from any other country
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
very crisp and in your face, tawny port finish clearly noticeable and well integrated without the Fiji character (thyme, honey, smoke, coffee) to fully dominate. nevertheless, an intense affair, the 61% are clearly noticeable and give the whole thing a proper kick but not unpleasant, but you have to stand on it ;)
Review by Tim
Port finish is something great, even if it is a bit dominant here?! The character of the Fiji Rum is difficult to identify yet. Lots of bitter chocolate, wine, sweet caramel and fruity grape berries. Relatively mild and round in the mouth for over 60%. Some alcoholic spiciness is there nonetheless. Finishes with lots of sweet grape and red wine, spicy, leathery, bitter chocolate.
Review by Jan Lu
The Port wine finish is quite intense to feel. The nice thing about the whole thing is that it doesn't dominate and comes across very balanced. I like red wine, which is probably why I like this one here.
Review by Alexander Rasch
My RumRatings review from 5 years ago: The rum is not a funk monster on the nose. The rum is spicy with a dark sweetness. Port wine aromas come through. But also oak, honey, and vanilla. A good nose. But unfortunately with little ester content. On the palate, the rum is immediately very sweet and full-bodied. It tastes of berries, vanilla, cocoa, and tropical fruit. The sweetness then transitions on the palate into a pleasant dryness where more wood aromas are present. The alcohol has a certain sharpness but stays within limits. The rum is nicely oily. The finish becomes increasingly dry and astringent. Actually an excellent complex rum, which is probably rated higher than I could when tasting, because for me the Fiji label simply means something else. The Port wine finish fits but takes away the last bite of funk from the rum. Therefore an 8.
