Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5167 22.03.2025 Tasting at Whisky Watcher, Odense. Nose Fresh, medium intense, fruits, light wood, light pineapple, citrus, spice, faint smoke, light olive. Palate Light oily, light wood, faint smoke, fruits, light citrus, faint caramel, light ginger, faint herbal. Finish Long and warm, fruits, light wood, herbal, light tea, faint medicinal, citrus. Needs some time in the glass to really open up properly.
Review by Jacques etdom
The nose is deceptive, I would have bet on Jamaica. Pineapple, citrus zest, light smoke, a bevy of tropical fruits. Notes still present on the palate. Very fruity. Some herbaceous notes and spices on the finish. Long, warm finish. A nice surprise!
Review by Stijn Zino
Less glue in the nose then their 2012 Fiji, but you still get your glue with more fruit. Very herbal profile in taste, which i'm not used to of a Fiji. Almond finish. Interesting rum, but I don't need a bottle in my Fiji collection. This is really a bottle try before you buy, some will like it and some don't.
Review by Chrischi78
Ganz spannende Geschichte: In der Nase ordentlich Olive und Zzitrusfrüchte,. Am Gaumen ein bisschen Ananas, dann ein paar röstig rauchige, ja dreckige Noten. Kein wirkliches Komplexmonster, aber ich hab ihn doch genossen, aber in die Spitzengruppe der „Many Faces of Rum“ schafft er es definitiv nicht.
Review by SaibotZtar
In der Nase fällt vorallem die Fruchtigkeit nach Zitrusfrüchten auf ... Ananas und etwas Lösungsmittel Ingwer leichte Rauchnoten aber nicht störend . Im Mund erstmal etwas Süße mit Früchten , kandierte Ananas und Lösungsmittel (Ester) . Wird dann kurz etwas bitter was sich aber dann wieder gibt und er schmeckt nach frischem Holz . Wirkt insgesamt sehr zam und zurückhaltend.
