For experienced palates, this cask‑strength Fiji (61.1%) leans unusually soft and “Spanish style”: toffee, chocolate, vanilla, light coconut and roasted notes with moderate wood and spice. Widely seen as a solid, if untypical, South Pacific sipper.

How does Nobilis South Pacific No. 16 2004 taste?

Aggregated from 35 community reviews.

Rounded, sweet-leaning, untypical Fiji For experienced palates, this cask‑strength Fiji (61.1%) leans unusually soft and “Spanish style”: toffee, chocolate, vanilla, light coconut and roasted notes with moderate wood and spice. Widely seen as a solid, if untypical, South Pacific sipper.

Perfect for

Rum drinkers who enjoy higher‑ABV but rounded sippers with natural sweetness, toffee and chocolate, and fans of Barbados/Foursquare‑style profiles curious about a different origin.

Less suitable for

Fans of high‑ester Fiji funk or beginners sensitive to 60%+ ABV who may find the profile too hot or not characterful enough.

6.0/10

Unfortunately, no recognition value whatsoever. Not bad, but not good either. I wouldn't miss it unbottled. Kind of a shame, but that's the way it is sometimes - even with a rum bottled by Nobilis. Update 2024-02-01 - Blind tasting, 6th rum Nose: brrrrr, what's that? A simply knitted Foursquare? Palate: just unpleasant, fizzy, yet flat; nope, FS can't be that, I don't like them but because they're boring, but not as pungent as this rum. No idea what that is. Solution: Phew, the Fiji from Nobilis, which I've even had in a glass before. But the rum can't keep up the 76 points I gave it back then: I only give it 60 points. Sorry, Nobilis, mistake. 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is not your typical Fiji rum but a very nice sidestep. Really well balanced and with natural sweetness, fruit and lovely toffee. I can see why they chose this cask because of the balance and the uniqueness of flavours.

Was ist nur mit dem Jahrgang 2004 von South Pacific los? Schmeckt gar nicht typisch nach Fiji, sondern eher langweilig, auch wenn er einer der besseren 2004er ist. Blind hätte ich ihn auf Foursquare getippt!

Hmm, where are the esters? Not very typical nose for Fiji. On the palate round and spicy with slight sweetness, but also quite strong alcoholic. The transition to the finish is dominated by wood and coffee and fades quite quickly.Good rum but I expected more.

liegt vielleicht an dem gerade zuvor verkosteten IdR South Pacific 2001, aber der Nobilis löst keine Begeisterungsstürme aus. Zwar durchaus rund an Nase und Gaumen, mit Schokolade und Röstaromen, aber ein wenig mehr Pepp hätte ich mir schon gewünscht.

Auch hier: nix Fiji. Eher in Richtung Foursquare. Im Mund ist er mir zu scharf aber grundsätzlich passt mir der Rum ganz gut. Die Frage ist halt, wieso soll ich einen Fiji Rum kaufen der dann eher die Charakteristikas von Barbados aufweist und nicht gleich einen solchen kaufen. Dennoch feiner Rum.

7.7/10

Probiert als 5cl Sample. Ich wäre blind niemals auf Fiji gekommen. Von Estern am Gaumen keine Spur, lediglich minimal an der Nase in Form von Lösungsmittel und Banane. Alles in allem ein untypischer Fiji-Vertreter, der gut, aber keinesfalls herausragend ist. Alkohol ist gut integriert, aber es fehlt definitiv an Komplexität. Für 61,1% außerdem ein sehr dünnes Mundgefühl. Hätte ihn eher in die Ecke St.Lucia eingeordnet. Werde an nem anderen Tag definitiv nochmal probieren. Vielleicht liegts ja an meiner Tagesform. Edit: Liegt anscheinend nicht an meiner Tagesform. Nach Verkostung 2 und Recherche stellt sich heraus, dass der 2004er South Pacific wohl einfach nen mieser Jahrgang ist. Nicht falsch verstehen, ist nen solider rum, aber nicht das was Fiji kann/auszeichnet.

8.1/10

Ein – dem Jahrgang entsprechend - leichter Vertreter aus der South Pacific-Destille, der in der Nase noch mit viel süssen Aromen von Toffee und Gebäck sowie frischen Aromen von tropischen Früchten zu gefallen weiss. Dieselben Aromen finden sich auch am Gaumen wieder, allerdings flankiert von feurigen Gewürzen, Holz und einer nicht zu leugnenden Präsenz des Alkohols. Ein vielschichtiger Rum, der aber etwas unter der zu bissigen Schärfe am Gaumen leidet. Dank der aromatischen Komplexität dennoch knapp noch im sehr guten Rahmen.
