One member sums it up: this "might be one of the best Fijis there is." You get honey sweetness up front, then unripe yellow and tropical fruit, a floral lift and that unmistakable Fiji glue-and-rubber streak, with roasted, smoky wood behind it. At 56.6% it drinks surprisingly well all evening. The continental ageing keeps the finish a touch short.
The community says- Honeyed dirty funk
- Wide fruit range
- But: Shortish finish

The look inside the bottle
How does RFC South Pacific Polednice 2009 taste?
Summarized by AI from 27 community reviews.
Wild, honeyed Fiji pot still at cask strength Fiji fans agree this is near the top of the terroir — technical, honeyed and wild at once. The finish runs a bit short, so look elsewhere if you want length.

Here I stupidly forgot to take a picture of the bottle, so there is only the label as a picture :) Nice Fiji rum, mostly fruity, the whole range of fruits is recognizable, also a bit of glue is noticeable.

Dirty honey 😋
Review by Mirco
Nice Fiji with a pleasant, rather dark aromatic profile. On the nose ripe fruits, some leather, wood, and a fine spice. On the palate dry and spicy with oak, tea, some cocoa, and a slight bitter note. Well matured, round and nicely balanced, with enough depth to stay interesting. A really successful Fiji bottling.
Review by Filip Lojín
Very wild Fiji, tasting exactly as Fiji should taste. Easy to drink all evening. The taste is technical and the aroma is extra intense. The finish is shorter due to continental aging. The label refers to pagan traditions and figures that are inseparable from Slavic culture.
Review by Michal Jurka
I love Fiji, my favourite "non mainstream" terroire and this might be one of the best Fijis there is. Honey sweetness, freshness of unripe fruits, technical tones, flowers, bit of smoked wood. It has it all.
Review by Kamil Křenek
Excellent Fiji and a beautiful start for RFC.
Review by Vinsdorf
First RFC bottle and as a member of RFC I try to be objective - 8.6 is fair to me. Really good continental Fiji, with lot of burnt plastic and light rubber and honey tone. The end is a bit on peppery side. On the other hand it is not so complicated and could be easy sipper. Good compromise between complexity and simplicity.
