Pineapple and glue hit first, then citrus, ginger heat and a green, herbal streak that keeps surprising people — several tasters swore it smelled Jamaican. This 15-year Fiji pot still from The Whisky Jury is fresh, funky and a bit medicinal, with smoky wood underneath. Most find it lively and enjoyable, though the finish runs short and a touch rough around the edges.
The community says- Fresh pineapple esters
- Herbal, funky profile
- Keep in mind: Short finish

How does The Whisky Jury South Pacific The Many Faces of Rum 2009 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, funky Fiji with herbal, medicinal edge Well-liked Fiji funk: pineapple, glue, ginger and a herbal, olive-y edge. Most enjoyed it, but several felt it stayed a bit young, with a short, slightly disjointed finish.

#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.

Ne, die Bewertung ist mir leider viel zu hoch. Irgendwie passt mir das grad nicht, diese vielen Ester, aber auch Gummi ist erkennbar, schmeckt recht vergoren, ist aber auch funky und ölig, aber grad nicht meins.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, esters and glue bump into our nosetrils with overripe tropical fruits like pineapple, banana, citrus fruits, smoky, spicy wood with baking spices and an olive. On aeration, the molasses is grassy and flowery, roasted wood brings pastry, biscuits and marzipan, nuts. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is medicinal with esters and rubber, funky, fruity with pineapple and citrus, the wood is smoky, spicy, salty with caramel and ginger and the molasses herbaceous, vegetal with olive, eucalyptus.After resting the rum, a crunchy bread comes out... 8,3:The finish is rounder, dry, fruity, medium long, the molasses is grassy, herbaceous, some medicinal notes are present, as spicy and roasted wood..
Review by Chrischi78
Quite an exciting story: Lots of olive and citrus fruit on the nose. A little pineapple on the palate, then a few toasty, smoky, even dirty notes. Not really a complex monster, but I did enjoy it, but it definitely doesn't make it into the top group of the "Many Faces of Rum".
Review by Eric Frechin
One of the few Fiji I've tasted. A new profile to discover. The nose is rather restrained, but offers slightly Jamaican notes with barely estherized fruit and a vegetal demarcation. On the palate, I still find very light esters, the fruitiness has all but disappeared in favor of the vegetal, and a certain liveliness, a little acidic, reminds me of ginger. The finish is sober, with a slightly smoky burnt sugar.
Review by SaibotZtar
In the nose, the fruitiness of citrus fruits is particularly noticeable ... Pineapple and some solvent ginger light smoky notes but not disturbing. In the mouth first some sweetness with fruits, candied pineapple and solvent (ester). It then becomes a little bitter for a short time, but this then subsides and it tastes of fresh wood. All in all it is very smooth and restrained.
Review by Thunderbird
A pretty good Fiji from TWJ. I find it very varied, almost complex. I am particularly impressed by the nose and palate. The fresh, estery, fruity nose is beguiling. On the palate, there is a certain funkiness with spice, fruit, esters and a gum and brine mixture. Only the relatively short, not quite harmonious finish denies a higher note.
Review by Skyfly
After my tasting glass broke and the holiday apartment had nothing else, this will do. A mix of citrus fruits, pineapple, esters, glue, some ginger and wood that runs through from nose to finish in varying intensity. Alcohol well integrated.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Tasting at the Limoges Spirits Festival 2025. 👃 Nice Fijian nose. Lots of fruits, tropical and citrus dominant. Typical esters, a bit of glue, fresh ginger, smoky wood, and green olive note. 😋 Again these typical Fijian esters expressing through flavors of burnt rubber and fruit fermentation, still pineapple and citrus. New funk complemented by fresh root, eucalyptus, spicy wood. ⛳ One of the highlights of this bottling, a medicinal side, lively, warm fruits, roasted almonds, and especially a herbal and vegetal side. 💡 I am a big fan of the 2001 vintage from the South Pacific distillery of Fiji, which has some very nice bottlings (Flag, Rock & Rhum, Spirit Gallery, Plantation V&B...) but I find the other vintages below par in taste and aroma.
Review by Christian Rudt
Very nice rum, fruity aromas especially pineapple immediately present. Plus a good dose of glue here but it leaves room for other things. Promising. On the palate, the glue dissipates quite quickly. Pineapple, some ginger - spiciness and also herbal notes dominate the taste. Finish is pleasant but rather short with a slight citrusy aftertaste. Nice bottling.
Review by Schnubbii
On the nose typical Fiji markers, somewhat metallic. On the palate, despite its 15 years, it still seems quite youthful to me. Not bad, but it lacks some harmony and depth, and the alcohol could be better integrated. Not bad, but also no highlight.
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 Martin Ekrt
A great technical Fiji aroma with citrus, ginger and fruit. The taste follows. Again some chemistry, gingerbread spice or something. The finish is nice and smooth, medium-long. Smaller abv makes it very approachable and drinkable.
Review by Richard Krupa
Sweet wood in the smell, slightly spicy in the taste
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.
