TAST'TOE South Pacific Fiji Rum SPD 2009
Most tasters land in the same place: a fruity, easy-drinking Fiji that leans sweeter than you'd expect at cask strength. Yellow banana and banana bread lead, backed by vanilla, honey and a light roasted, smoky oak. One member wanted "more high glue esters" and called it one-dimensional; others found it creamy and rounded. Alcohol integration divides opinion too.
The community says- Banana-bread nose
- Creamy sweetness
- Alcohol not tucked in

How does TAST'TOE South Pacific Fiji Rum SPD 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Fruity, sweetish Fiji sipper with banana-bread core Well-liked as a relaxed evening Fiji, with two recurring gripes: the alcohol isn't always tucked in cleanly, and funk-chasers want more ester bite.

Review by Leo Krüper
Strong and very present at the beginning, as expected from a Fiji. Some almond or a slight bitter note then. Hintenraus unexpectedly sweet with long, quaffable finish. Alcohol could be better integrated.Wins in direct comparison just against the RC Fiji 2009.
Review by Thunderbird
A very round and pleasant to drink Fiji! The nose is intensely fruity, sweet and with delicious ester. On the palate it spreads creamy with lots of sweetness and vanilla, then switches to the slightly woody roasty flavor.The finish is medium long and sweet herbal!A nice evening sipper
Review by Skyfly
Sehr komplexer angenehmer Fiji. Die Nase sehr fruchtig mit vergorenem und Vanille. Im Gaumen dann etwas rauchig mit Banane, Zitronenschale, Vanille und Holz. Da srauchige hält bis in den Abgang an. Alkohol sehr gut integriert.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Sweet and a bit metallic. Bitterness in the finish.
Review by Rare Akuma
On the nose a fruity and fermented profile with predominantly yellow banana followed by a citrusy pineapple juice blend. It smells quite dry and acidic almost to the point of expecting astringency. Barrel notes that end lightly smoky. In the mouth a more coherent experience starting with bakery notes such as vanilla cream, lemon key pie and banana bread. Again lightly smoked with chamomile tea. The bananabread and chamomile stay for quite some time making for a reasonably lengthy sweet finish.
