“Another retaste and it lost a few points, but still a great rum looking at the price tag. Price to quality you get a lot for your money. Fruit and esters combined with a nice spicy and warm palate. I get a light honey note on the nose and palate as well as a hint of mint on the finish. Really nice rum.”

“This is a very interesting, impressive Rum from Fiji. I enjoyed this a lot. The wood and alcohol is integrated very well. In the nose a perfect mix of fruits and the barrel with some nice smells of esters and nail polish. In the mouth it’s added some nice rubber, licorice, almond, vegetal, pipe tobacco, tea and olive tastes. The finish is quite long with a lot of barrel notes without being to bitter.”

“Fermented fruit, esters, rubber, glue, anchovies, licorice, honey, sweet warm spice, stone fruits. Amazing drink. Didn’t like it as much when I just opened the bottle but after giving it some time to open up it really delivers. It’s underrated here I believe. Well after doing a few more crosstastings I have to deduct points. It doesn’t hold up well against other high end bottles. I still love it as a standalone after a nice meal.”
