Spirit Gallery South Pacific Fiji 2001

One of the best Fijis most tasters here have had, and the ratings back it up. Solvent, burnt rubber and green olive lead, then a basket of overripe yellow fruit — pineapple, pear, apricot — with light oak and burnt sugar underneath. At 56.6% the alcohol sits remarkably well integrated. Give it 30 minutes of air; it rounds out and turns dry, spicy and long.

Mature Fiji rum with a calm, rather dry profile. Dark fruits, tea, some leather and wood on the nose, overall rather restrained. Spicy and slightly tart on the palate with little sweetness, some cocoa and a dry, slightly bitter note on the finish. Not a fruit bomb and nothing playful. Solid, mature and harmonious, but more for lovers of this dry style.

Edit : rhum club Lille. chocolat & pamplemousse, groseille. Superbe ! Le coup de cœur de la soirée. Une claque ou une caresse ? Un nez qui m’a quelque part rappelé certains Samaroli, le vieux bois, le moulin à poivre de la grand mère et l’origan. En bouche, c’est doux, onctueux, puis l’explosion d’agrumes, de pamplemousse, d’orange sanguine, sur un lit de poivre et d’épices de cuisine. Ça pétille sur la langue, j’adore ! Est ce qu’il me faudrait pas une 3eme bouteille…? J’en parle à mon banquier de suite.

Relaxing with a little sample while watching a crime series on TV. A very good and well-balanced Fiji rum. Intense fruity with some diesel notes mixed with some olives and salt. The palate is dry and lightly bitter.

Ich bin ein wenig skeptisch, weil es zu diesem Rum viele lobende aber anonyme Wertungen gibt. Da hilft nur selbst probieren: An der Nase auf jeden Fall sehr intensiv und fruchtig, erstaunlich auch hier reife Williamsbirne zu finden, Alkohol ist zurückhaltend An Gaumen dann mehr Fasseinfluss, recht süß, jede Menge Zitrusfrüchte Im Nachklang trocken und fruchtig, ein paar Tannine Ja, ein sehr guter Rum aus Fiji, Alkohol gut eingebunden, intensiv, fruchtig - so stelle ich mir das vor. Wer High-Ester Rum mag ist hier richtig.

J'ai juste trempé mes lèvres dans ce Fidji lorsque je l'ai ouvert et je me suis dit que ce serait un très beau rhum. Aujourd'hui, je lui donne plus de temps et chaque moment de cette dégustation confirme l'impression initiale. Un nez très boisé avec de jolis fruits compotés et des esters façon Jamaïque. On sent que l'alcool sera présent mais il n'est pas piquant. En bouche, jolie morsure de l'alcool. Puis des épices piquantes. Puis très vite le fruit mûr, beaucoup de légèreté, grosse gourmandise. Avant que le bois ne fasse son effet et asséche le tout. Finale plus sombre et amère. Le fût se rappelle à nous. Un superbe rhum avec une superbe évolution. Hate de voir ce que l'oxydation lui apportera. Superbe sélection et rapport qualité prix difficile à battre ! Edit : un côté très huileux, presque savonneux. Un chocolat au lait bien gourmand. Pas beaucoup d'évolution de la bouteille malgré l'oxydation pour le moment.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
