CDI South Pacific Fiji 2010
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.
The community says- Dark chocolate depth
- Balanced port finish
- But: Port dominates Fiji

The look inside the bottle
How does CDI South Pacific Fiji 2010 taste?
Aggregated 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.

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 Christian Rudt
Sample eingeschenkt und bei der Suche in RumX Mal rausgefunden daß er ein Tawny-Finish hat😅 ich mag Portwein seit ich zweimal Porto besuchen konnte also bitte😁 Die Nase zeigt schon Was Sache ist. Ordentlich Holz aber gefühlt eher aus dem Finish kommt durch. Vanille eher im Hintergrund. Das setzt sich am Gaumen fort, beeruge Aromen und Geschmack von dunkler Schokolade kommen durch und leider auch etwas zu viel Alkohol In Finish dann eher würzig, rote Frucht bleibt präsent aber auch der Alkohol. Eine interessante Abfüllung allemal.
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 Tobin
Enttäuschend im Vergleich zu anderen geilen Fijis - bestätigt leider den mittelmäßIgen Eindruck von CDIs…
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#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
Zu Portweinlastig, Fiji kommt kaum noch durch. Hätte auch ein jedes andere Land sein können
Review by Oliver
The port finish is quite pronounced. Fits the Fiji but well! Proper "chocolate bomb".
Review by Rene Nielsen
Very Nice Fiji, first taste is spicy, oak, and white peber. Long port cask finish
