South Pacific Plantation Isle of Fiji 4yr 40%

"Overall is the nose unpleasant, palate better than expected and too short finish. The nose is fruity, spicy and smoky with additional smells of glue, alcohol and vanilla. At the palate it tastes like the nose indicated except for alcohol and glue, instead it’s very sweet."

"There is something about this rum that swings it off but I can't put my finger on it. The nose promisses a lot that the palate can't finish. Still wondering what tipped this one...... "

"Light good Fiji without frills"

"Very thin, diluted, sweet daily sipper. Paired with some nice notes of various fruits. It‘s a good one, for beginners especially."

"Flavors of vanilla, honey, plums and coconuts. Aftertaste of dried bananas and bourbon spices."

"Ein Fiji Rum von Plantation der dem typischen Profil dieser Insel folgt, indem fruchtige Ester im Vordergrund liegen. Durch das Cognagfass aber auch recht mild und vanillig. Natürlich auch etwas nachgesüßt."

"8:On the nose it is quite punchy and vanilla. Lots and lots of dark treacly molasses notes jump straight out at you, a bit of caramel then. There is a sweeter, more perfumed note but it’s little fierce as well, varnish. After a little time in the glass some fruitier notes arise, fermented, overripe notes, even rotten, canned with passion fruit, banana, ripe pears, plum and some currants. There is a smokiness as well.The nose is really impressive and balanced. 7,8:On the palate the rum is not as powerful as the nose suggested, but is well round. The fruitier notes are not that strong, not overripe, banana is fresh. It has a sweetener note, it is spicy with some baking spices. On the mid palate, we get some punchy and roasted notes of burnt banana, ginger and a honey, minimal bitterness present. 7,3:The finish is medium. It fades quite quickly, is fruity, spice, some overripe notes, a bit dry and acidic, that sweetener note stays."

"Edit : took down my original rating a bit. From 73 to 70. Although i'm not the biggest lover of Jamaican rums, this one goes a tiny bit in the same direction but way less funky. Not bad at all. It's fruity and very easy to drink. Finish is a bit too short tho 🤷‍♂️"

"Beautiful nose, but in the mouth then dominates mainly the sweetness. Honey and vanilla give each other the hand especially in the finish then but rather tangy with medium-long finish. Drinkable for beginners or as a simple sipper, but more should not be expected"

"Ein fruchtig, leichter Rum. Ist nicht sonderlich vielschichtig aber sein Geld allemal wert."
