How does Famille Ricci South Pacific Exception 2001 taste?
Intense, complex old-school Fiji funk
If you already enjoy intense Fijis or high-ester Jamaicans at cask strength, this will feel like a deeper, older, smokier take on that profile with serious complexity.
Beginners or those sensitive to strong alcohol and dry, smoky, slightly metallic ester notes; anyone looking for an easy-going, sweet sipper.

Tolles komplexes Gesamtpaket - 2001er Fiji in Reinform, Zitrusfrüchte, Tee, Holz, Rauch, Gewürze; ein exquisites Release, das in der Oberklasse der mir bekannten Fiji-Releases mitzuspielen vermag. Fordernd, intensiv - ein breites Spektrum an Aromen spielt auf, insgesamt ein sehr gutes Release!
After resting this rum for a while it releases very nice flavours. The ABV is well integrated and you get the roasted/smoky wood notes from the long aging. Lightly fruity with a nice touch of esters and vanilla/caramel. Very long and dry finish. Price to quality is OK in my mind.
A very good fiji. With this burnt and toasted side at the end of the mouth which is quite different !
