Fiji Rum & Co Lautoka 2004
Most tasters call this a pleasant surprise — an easygoing sipper that punches above its 46%. The Muscat cask leaves nougat, raisins and roasted chestnut on the nose, with smoky wood and nuts on the palate. Not hugely complex, but round and drinkable. One reviewer found it just too sweet and woody, and wine-cask skeptics may pass. Whisky drinkers tend to like this one.
The community says- Smoky wood, nuts
- Muscat dried fruit
- Slightly hot

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly complex tropical matured Fiji rum that comes despite the only 46% not too thin. Nice combination of smoke, wine influence from the muscatel finish and slightly burnt caramel, tropical fruits like papaya, some mocha and pepper. Very round!
Review by MarcT
A nice surprise this one. It did taste quite hot for its 46%, but went to a smooth ride over the palate soon afterwards. It is not overly complex, but has enough to it to qualify as a decent sipper. I am not so much into most wine cask finishes and would not buy this while there are so many other options, but it still is good.
Review by Motte
An insider tip for whisky drinkers. Well balanced with a clear focus on dark aromas of smoky wood and nuts.
Review by Christian Rudt
Probably by its already smoky profile an ideal partner to the cigar. The finish also provides a slight sweet impact with neat flavors of dried fruit.

Aromas of dried fruit and smoky wood. In the background there are still nuances of whiskey and a subtle sweetness that certainly comes from the muscatel barrel.
