Review by TheJackDrop
Frankly, it's not bad, even if it's a classic vanilla fruit, hazelnut or toasted almond. The finish is rather short, but for the price it's quite honest. A simple rum, with no headaches.
Review by Jadran Huys
Nothing profound but definitely tasty if you like sweet and fruity rum, reminds me of Plantation’s “Isle of Fiji” but with less punch.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
Purchased whilst on holiday in Menorca. Never seen this in the UK market. It's in my experience, a typical Fijian rum. Lots of honey and floral notes. It's easy to sip and rather cheap (though it all is over here).
