TRC South Pacific Fiji 2001
Bone-dry and Fiji at cask strength — expect glue, varnish and rubber up front, then papaya, citrus and a touch of honey trying to sweeten things. The palate turns roasted and bitter, with tannins and mineral, tobacco notes running through a long, astringent finish. The 59.3% sits well integrated. One taster called it the "dreckigeren Fiji" style — the dirtier end of the island's funk.
The community says- Dirty Fiji funk
- Mineral character
- But: Very dry finish

How does TRC South Pacific Fiji 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Dirty, bone-dry Fiji funk at cask strength Fiji fans rate this highly, several ranking it top in cross-tastings for its dirty funk. The catch: it's notably dry, and the nose promises fruit the palate won't deliver.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Most helpful positive review
A Fijian rum with a full-bodied, pleasant profile. The nose is very complete, with medicinal notes leading the way (glue, varnish, rubber, mineral notes), while fruit follows suit with a little more roundness (papaya, banana, citrus and dried fruit). Then come pastry notes that play on the generally heavy Fijian profile to give a welcome sweetness to the nostrils, to which spices and wood are added. It's a varied profile, quite voluble and very pleasant. The attack on the palate is a little drier, roasted and bitter than the nose suggests. However, the profile retains its greediness with tropical fruit, marzipan, pastry and honeyed candied fruit notes. The palate is full-bodied, with medicinal and mineral notes still present, a little more tannic but rather complementary to the slightly spicy profile. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is long, even drier, more bitter and tannic than the attack, not to say astringent. The minerality combines with tobacco, smoke, wood and spice. The fruit is more subdued, but its presence remains, with a honeyed edge that's as sweet as ever. A lovely bottling that strikes a fine balance between funk and Fijian sweetness.

sehr speziell, dennoch klassischer aber auch furztrockener Fiji
Review by Alex Kunath
Schlichtweg der beste Fiji, den TRC angefüllt hat! Geile Nase, geiler Geschmack! Nach Cross Tasting mit dem RC Fiji und dem LMDW Fiji ist dieser knapp auf dem ersten Platz weil er für mich die dreckigeren Fiji Noten hat, die ich so mag.
Review by Johannes
Richtig guter Fiji! Muss demnächst im Vergleich standhalten…
Review by Mentalo
Auch das ist wieder ein guter 2001er Vertreter, wenn auch minimal schlechter als andere Abfüllungen. Liegt vor allem daran, dass er relativ trocken war. Andere haben da noch eine schöne Honigsüße. Ansonsten wieder fruchtige Esternoten mit angenehm dreckigen Noten. Alkohol ist gut integriert.
Review by Alex1981
Typical Fiji with this mineral profile, dry, tannins, freshness. The nose promises some fruits which the palate can’t fulfill, otherwise great dram with well integrated alcohol.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Toller Fiji-Rum! Im Gegensatz zu seinen älteren Brüdern (17 bzw. 18 Jahre) etwas alkoholischer und auch deutlich wilder mit schärferen Aromen, was jedoch bei Fiji nicht unbedingt schlecht ist, da somit der landestypische Charakter deutlicher wird! Leider auch weniger cremig/ölig und vom Mundgefühl her etwas unrunder. Insgesamt ein schönes fruchtig-medizinisches Fiji-Profil mit mineralischen Noten. Gefällt mir!
