RFC South Pacific Polednice 2009
"Dirty honey," one member sums it up, and that's the pull of this Fiji pot-still. Burnt plastic, light rubber and glue sit next to yellow tropical fruit, a floral lift and roasted, spicy oak. At 56.6% it drinks warm but stays approachable — several tasters call it an easy all-evening sipper despite the funk. The continentally-aged finish runs a touch short.
The community says- Burnt plastic funk
- Tropical fruit
- But: Shorter finish

Dirty honey 😋
Review by Filip Lojín
Velice divoké Fiji, které chutná přesně tak, jak má Fiji chutnat. Dobře se pije celý večer. Chuť je technická a vůně je extra výrazná. Závěr je kratší z důvodu kontinentálního staření. Etiketa odkazuje na pohanské tradice a postavy, které neodmyslitelně patří ke slovanské kultuře.
