Tasted blind, more than one member swore this was a young Hampden — glue, funky fruit, pineapple — before the reveal: it's a 10-year Fiji at a hefty 62.3%. That surprise is half the fun. The nose runs bright and fruity with ester; the palate turns drier and darker, all clove, wood and smoke, with an oily body. Neat it's sharp, so a drop of water helps.
The community says- Funky ester nose
- Surprising Fiji
- Keep in mind: Dry woody palate

How does The Wild Parrot South Pacific Exclusively Bottled for Sansibar 2009 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Funky Fiji that fools you into thinking Jamaica Most enjoy it, with one recurring gripe: the nose promises more than the dry, woody, smoky palate delivers. A few call the alcohol a touch loud, but the funk wins people over.

Tasted this blind for 1st Advent, quite sharp at first, which lead to funky fruity mix indictating a Jamaican. Surprise, it was not! 😏 It is said to have some citrus, which I missed completely though. 2cl sometimes ain't enough... I also expected this to be onmly slightly aged, it was 10 years, however.

Day 1 in the RumX advent calendar. I immediately recognized Fiji as a country, the bottling was on the shortlist, partly because of its high alcohol content. Very oily, with fat streaks in the glass, the alcohol is not exactly restrained, both on the nose and on the palate. Otherwise, there is a certain herbaceousness on the nose, surrounded by something that reminds me of dried orange slices. On the palate, some wood and clove are worth mentioning for me, which create an enormous dryness. I often like Fiji a lot, but this bottling doesn't make it into the short list.
Review by Galli33
#1. avent sample from the RumXCalendar. Blind tasting: Very interesting nose… it reminds me on a classic young hampden/jamaican, but in mouth it‘s very different. It lacks in the finish, really woody and smoky. Never thought this is from south pacific and has 10 years 🙈🙈 Nose: fruity, funky, pineapple, sweet, burnt sugar, citrus, ester. Mouth: solvents, fruit schnaps, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, spicy, liquorice. Finish: a lot of smoke, roasted, vanilla, oak.
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose like a fresh Agricole... on the palate a nutty note with licorice! The finish is nutty/roasty! An atypical South Pacific for me The alcohol is well integrated
Review by Tom Buteneers
The prelude of the RumX Advent calendar. Coincidentally had some Blanton’s before this, which caused it to sit in the glass for a couple of hours before I could taste it. The smell changed quite a bit during this time: sharp in the beginning but as time passes notes of smokeyness with some meat on the grill strange enough. Sweet and savory flavours while the alcohol is integrated extremely well. First bottling from The Wild Parrot that I’ve ever had the pleasure of trying and I like it quite a bit. Looking forward to the rest of the experience in December.
Review by SaibotZtar
RumX Calendar 2021 .... First Advent. Rather weak Fiji ... A bit boring! Alcohol not too well integrated. Somewhat bitter and immature for me . Nose better than on the palate .
Review by tojo
A great first introduction to the rum calendar. The Fiji has a lovely sweet nose of cookies, vanilla and sugar, just right for the first Advent. It also has yellow fruit and light estery notes. Young wood and grass notes are added on the palate.
Review by Frank
RumX calendar, 1st Advent. Blind: clearly Fiji, high ABV >60, light color, therefore young Max. 10yo. Nose: same glue, followed by something oily-graphite-like. Slightly honeyed with a hint of mango. Very dry, years-old orange slices, some dry cocoa powder, slightly more vinegary and a little smoky. Palate: dry, clove, some mango at the back, slightly herbal and again some glue and oily palate, much weaker than the nose. Not the best Fiji, but ok.
Review by mto75
Exciting the stark differences between nose and palate. A good start to the RumX advent calendar 😃

1st Advent sample from the rum calendar. Cool start!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
💥 Enmore 1994: a slap! Everything fits wonderfully, with an incredible length on notes of raspberry and blueberry. Clearly the best REV 1994 I've tasted so far — my big favorite of the show ❤️ Just behind, the TDL 2002, perfectly balanced, unfolds a superb peach thread. A real treat! 🍑 Interesting comparison between the two Caroni 1998s, with a preference for the red label. The white label even showed some notes... of smoked ham 😉 The Savanna 2007 remained well concentrated and aromatic, the New Yarmouth 2009 offered a nice length with a slight woodiness, and the Diamond 2001 charmed with its gourmand and pastry side, reminiscent of an El Dorado Skeldon. In summary, a very nice series overall, except for the Fiji, with a really too atypical profile — clearly the least convincing of the The Wild Parrot bottlings tasted so far.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
RumX Advent calendar 1st Advent: had to think of the Hampden Overproof. Slightly funky. The minerality reminded me of Fiji. Quite tasty, but Fiji from RA 2001 or Isla del Ron 2001 as well as SBS 2009 are clearly better.
Review by TheJackDrop
The RumX ratings are incomprehensible... did the samples not survive the trip well? Notes from WLP 2025: I loved this juice, but it is miserably rated on RumX. Goes to show that tastes and colors are very personal (though it seems the notes come from an advent calendar... well). Extremely aromatic, a burnt & roasted side that hits hard, some light fruits, and a good chocolate at the finish for indulgence. Top!
