CDI South Pacific Fiji 2010
Surprisingly pale for a 10-year rum, and lighter than most Fiji fans expect. Expect sharp grapefruit and lemon up front, dry oak, and that signature South Pacific "bicycle-tube" rubber and iodine note woven in, plus earthy cardamom, turmeric and ginger heat. A few tasters wished for more punch — several found it drinks hot and a touch watery for 44%.

The look inside the bottle
How does CDI South Pacific Fiji 2010 taste?
Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
Dry, citrusy Fiji with rubber and pepper Dry, citrus-and-rubber Fiji that grows on you, but not the island's boldest. Some call it complex and layered; others find it thin, hot, and not very Fiji-typical.

Complex rum that needs its time but then reveals its beautifully complex aroma.

for a drinking strength Fiji delivers the here a pretty nice bouquet. nice intense citrus notes (grapefruit and lemon), slightly caramel, however, without becoming sweet but nice and dry and in addition the typical medicinal bicycle tube and bitter iodine notes, which are here but nicely integrated with an intense spicy note of earthy cardamom, as well as spicy turmeric and ginger. i like it! PLV is also absolutely fine!
Review by w00tAN
In der Nase mild und süßlich, leicht floral. Frucht Aprikose, Pfirsich Am Gaumen erinnert es mich an Obstler, sehr fruchtig leicht süß. Abgang ziemlich kurz. Schade
Review by Gregor
Complex aromas. Nice and dry. A little watered down. Otherwise good
Review by Jack M
Surprisingly pale in colour for 10 years of aging. Probably the least good Fiji I’ve tried so far but by no means bad and the more I’m sipping it the more it’s growing on me. On the nose it’s quite light but it’s perhaps possible to pick out some young wood and citrus (grapefruit) notes. On the palate there’s some dinstinct rubber and pepper. Also woody and an underlying sweetness/ fudge flavour. It drinks quite punchy for its 44% ABV.
Review by Johannes
Not exactly typical of Fiji, lots of vanillin from the oak barrel.
Review by John Coffey
In the nose impossible to recognize this island. In the mouth too diluted, not enough punch and poorly integrated alcohol... Blind I would never have thought of a Fiji
Review by Nik del Rum
Er ist nicht tiefgründig aber solide. Ein Alltag tauglicher Rum.
