CoR South Pacific Fiji 2001 21yr 47,3%

"Il présente toutes les caractéristiques du vintage 2001 extrêmement intense, mais grâce à son degré de consommation relativement faible, il n'est pas trop difficile à boire et invite plutôt à la découverte des arômes. En raison de la puissance nettement plus faible, il manque bien sûr un peu d'intensité ici et là, mais le rhum ne semble pas vraiment maigre. Ce n'est pas suffisant pour atteindre le sommet absolu de 2001, mais à mes yeux, le rhum est loin d'être aussi mauvais que le suggère l'évaluation globale actuelle - mais il va de soi que la règle s'applique ici aussi : De gustibus non est disputandum."

"A rum tasted at the WLP. A lovely, warm nose of overripe tropical fruit, herbs and varnished wood. The palate is a little disappointing, too dry and not very aromatic. With more fruit. The finish is very short and ends on astringent wood. A far cry from the promise of the nose."

"A rum with potential on paper, the nose offers a nice mix of floral and medicinal notes on phenols and fermentation, a more empyreumatic side on rubber and fruity aromas on tropical fruit marmalade. The profile is rather attractive and well-constructed, with some spicy, woody notes in the background. On the palate, the rum loses some of its superb character. The rum is light, lacking intensity and impact, not least because of the relatively low degree. The exotic fruits are still present, with a little vanilla and caramel sweetness, spices and medicinal, rubbery notes. There's some butter on the palate, too. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is very subdued, with the same medicinal, sweet, buttery, fruity and slightly spicy profile. A few aromatic herbs graft themselves briefly before escaping like the rest of the aromas. A pleasant rum in aromatic terms, but lacking the length to compete with other bottlings from the same Millesime."

"U tohodle plněni od colors asi nikdy nezapomenu informaci, že destilérky je coca coly. Lepidlová vůně plná přezrálého ovoce ve mě zažehla moji lásku k fiji. Chuť by snesla vyšší abv, nicméně je to můj oblíbený kousek"

"Nose: burnt rubber tire at its best. A little thin and watery on the palate, not sure if this is really cask strength? Otherwise quite balanced and sweetish after rubber, caramel, citrus fruits and banana."

"Même s'il a été un peu trop dilué à mon goût, il est très intense en bouche avec de superbes notes d'ester des Fidji et des notes de miel Rockley."

"Well, the nose was quite promising... Nice medicinal, leathery notes combined with a bit of fruits. But then the taste came and to be honest, it's not that there is something wrong with this rum. It would just need to have a lot less water inside in my opinion. It's quite light and flat flavour wise."

"Best choice with coffee with milk"
