For curious explorers ready for a punchy Fiji profile: overripe banana, tropical fruit, mineral notes, ginger spice and a hint of smoke. At 58.5%, it’s best sipped slowly and with focus, not as a casual beginner rum.

Review by John Coffey
Smoky finish that I don't like. Nice entry-level wine
Review by Christoph
Good blend of tropical fruits with some wood topped with a ginger spiciness to the taste.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Nose typical Fiji. Overripe banana, mineral to herbal. Slightly peppery. On the palate, first sweet, honey, then alcohol. The mineral follows again. Quite tasty.
Review by alex
Rather well done. On the fruit. I had trouble at first, even after several glasses, so I left it for a year at the back of the cupboard. And I have to say that what I'm drinking today has nothing to do with it. The "alcohol" aspect is much better, it's smoother and more pleasant to drink. It's not the best fiji, but frankly it's not bad at all. A fine product
Review by tojo
After some standing time, tropical fruits like mango, papaya and banana come through along with wood and spices. Alcohol very present.
Review by Simon Leroux
A nice rum, but lacking a little character of its own. An almost too perfect character.
Review by Morgan Garet
Nez avec un côté fumé, épicé et solvants dominants En bouche les fruits tropicaux viennent s'ajouter aux notes du nez La finale est moyenne sur les épices (poivre ou piment) Un bon fiji
Review by Thunderbird
So far the weakest Fiji in my tasting round ... here fits so right nothing together! In the nose to finish accompanies me something artificial ... which bothers me but can not be defined exactly, the Barikenn and I will not be friends
Review by Alexander Rasch
The most immature Fiji in the tasting. Seems quite edgy. Overall, however, interesting flavor profile. Seems mineral and slightly artificial. Exciting. I had better in memory.
