Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
The nose is very intense, very funky and very youthful. In the mouth it is surprisingly round and mild thanks to the short time in the barrel. The flavors remain relatively constant, with a slightly tannic bitterness added in the finish. A great young rum that convinces with its mad presence.
Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
Exactly what I'm looking for when I want a funky high ester with pronounced aroma, great taste and long aftertaste and at a reasonable price. This bottle will be quickly emptied

Für diesen Preis eine absolute Granate.

Un très bon fiji pour le prix Et les 48 degrés en font un peu plus sur la bouche
Review by Jeff Aïoli
Excellent, une bombe d'ester ! Un vrai côté Hampden, puissant, fruité et très fumé. Une note originale de plastique brûle au nez ! C'est vraiment dommage que la finale soit si courte !
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
One of the best Fiji so far... Simply good
Review by Gregor
Very nice round Fiji. Beautiful fruity tones on the nose with dark tones of caramel and roasted malt. The same picture in the taste. Harmonious and round. The price is also right, which is why I give it a clear recommendation to buy
Review by lars
Preis/Leistung absolut top. Hampden, Ester, Politur, Teer. Ein Traum. Im Abgang leider etwas laff.
Review by Vincent D
It's full of solvents and overripe fruit. It's fruity, sweet and delicious. On the palate, it's disappointing. Glue, solvents, fruit, rotten banana. It's nice, but you're left wanting more. The nose was very promising, but the taste takes a back seat. Still, well above average. 2nd tasting: very marked by sugar this time. Wow, it's very sweet. And not as disappointing as the first tasting, on the contrary. It's greedy, yet young and spirited. Still varnish, still solvent. It's actually really cool. Tasted again this evening. Just as cool!

Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Review by Daniel
Nase: intensive Nase mit Klebstoff und Lack, dazu kommt Leder sowie tropische Früchte, allen voran Banane. Gaumen: milder, holziger Auftakt. Leder. Dann entwickelt sich eine angenehme Wärme und Kakaoaromen entfalten sich. Wenig von der Frucht der Nase am Gaumen zu spüren. Abgang: Vor allem Rauch. Fazit: Für das Alter bereits angenehme Milde und vielschichtig. Erinnert stark an einen Jamaikaner.
Review by Christian Rudt
Remains in my memory as the first opener for me. Great bottling 🇫🇯 Say a wistful farewell. 🥲 I treated myself to this rum as one of the first on my trip to the New World and tried it again today. In fact, I still like it and I even feel it tastes better. The wild note with lots of esters and glue is still there, but today it tastes much rounder to me, which of course may also be due to my own taste development. Lots of tropical fruit, some marzipan, honey and a slightly salty, smoky finish. Such a great, fairly young Fiji is a sight to behold and will hopefully soon find a worthy successor.
Review by Christoph
Pure citrus from nose with finish. In addition, there is a honey sweetness in the taste and burnt sugar in the finish. The good taste and finish is initially nullified by very penetrating glue smells, which, however, quickly fades.
Review by ilRummista
Un buonissimo Fiji. Al naso ha una buona quantità di esteri. A tratti mi ricorda Hampden OWH. Finale gradevole, condito da una leggera piccantezza.
