Review by Stefan Persson
Overall is the nose unpleasant, palate better than expected and too short finish. The nose is fruity, spicy and smoky with additional smells of glue, alcohol and vanilla. At the palate it tastes like the nose indicated except for alcohol and glue, instead it’s very sweet.
Review by Gregor
Sauber den Zucker eingestellt. So das er nicht zu dominant ist. 16g passen echt gut. Interessante Töne von Banane mit Blüten mit angenehmer vanille. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut. Gefällt mir sehr gut
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
There is something about this rum that swings it off but I can't put my finger on it. The nose promisses a lot that the palate can't finish. Still wondering what tipped this one......
Review by Jarrod Smith
Vanilla, fruits, toasted coconut. Sweet fruits on the front and dry spices with nutty vanilla on the finish. Big flavors. Excellent rum.

Leichter guter Fiji ohne Schnörkel
Review by Andrew Mainprice
Fantastic rum not as sweet as expected
Review by Galli33
Mmh… Very thin, diluted, sweet daily sipper. Paired with some nice notes of various fruits. It‘s a good one, for beginners especially, otherwise it‘s more like a daily driver at a very good price level.
Review by Steve the Barman
All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose it is quite punchy and vanilla. Lots and lots of dark treacly molasses notes jump straight out at you, a bit of caramel then. There is a sweeter, more perfumed note but it’s little fierce as well, varnish. After a little time in the glass some fruitier notes arise, fermented, overripe notes, even rotten, canned with passion fruit, banana, ripe pears, plum and some currants. There is a smokiness as well.The nose is really impressive and balanced. 7,8:On the palate the rum is not as powerful as the nose suggested, but is well round. The fruitier notes are not that strong, not overripe, banana is fresh. It has a sweetener note, it is spicy with some baking spices. On the mid palate, we get some punchy and roasted notes of burnt banana, ginger and a honey, minimal bitterness present. 7,3:The finish is medium. It fades quite quickly, is fruity, spice, some overripe notes, a bit dry and acidic, that sweetener note stays. Edit:28.9.25.
Review by Tyler L
The nose is amazing. Overripe bananas and a trace of varnish or solvent. I get the impression of a crate of bananas forgotten in a dark corner of a dive shop. Taste is similar with fried banana, buttery smoothness. Slightly musty. Almost too sweet but it’s balanced pretty well.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Flavors of vanilla, honey, plums and coconuts. Aftertaste of dried bananas and bourbon spices.
Review by TriRoel
Great fruity nose and fruity taste, soft and easy to drink i really enjoy this one. The bottle looks great to
Review by heckto🥃
In der Nase eher schlicht und wenig komplex. Am Gaumen Vanille, Honig, Kokos und tropische Früchte. Für den Profigaumen zu süß, flach und dünn. Ich finde ihn süffig, leicht und lecker. Sicher keine Geschmacksexplosion aber ein solider Süßrum.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Der erste "echte" Rum (EU-konform und Bumbu aussen vor) bei dem ich deutliche Banane rieche und schmecke. Daneben weitere aber undefinierbare tropische Früchte. Angenehme Süße und Milde, die sich im bananigen Abgang eher ins trockene wandelt. Sehr außergewöhnlich, sehr gut. Drinks: - Pur: 4.5/5 - Rum Mule: 4/5 - Rum Punch: 3/5
Review by Rumpalumpa
A Fiji rum from Plantation that follows the typical profile of this island, with fruity esters in the foreground. However, the cognac cask also makes it quite mild and vanilla-like. Also slightly sweetened, of course.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"I've already been down the Fijian rum route though, so this is probably a good start. Whether it's the dosage, Ferrand finish or just the age of the rums in the blend after such a promising nose, it fell just a little short. It's still quite good though and I..."Read full review →
