The Nectar South Pacific The Nectar Of The Daily Drams

 Again a great bottling from Fiji. Fiery, spicy, heavy, fresh - here happens a lot in the glass and although constantly flashing new flavor nuances but everything always remains in balance. Also reveals the heavy tea notes from the 2001 Vintage, which I personally like very much. Not quite at the height of the best representatives of the South Pacific distillery, both aromatically and in the alcohol integration are still air to the top - but still a great rum.

 Update: Also tastes very good blind on day 5 in the Ester calendar of RumX. And without a doubt Fiji☺️First tasting:Fiji, my secret love. Beautiful bottlings that at 12 years already brings decent maturity and depth, but also still has the wild character of young Fijis. Aromatic tropical fruit basket nestled in a plastic bowl steaming out something unhealthy. In addition, a slight saltiness that brings South Sea flair to the tongue. Interesting bottling especially for those who want to know Fiji.

 Beautiful thing. Lots of singed plastic on the nose. Well integrated alcohol, finish lasts for 64% but not so long.

 Surprisingly complex, delicious and alcohol perfectly integrated! Definitely one of the Fiji discoveries so far. Beautiful notes of tangerine peel, dried apricot, ginger jam, old banana with lots of cocoa powder and strong cappuccino, plus lots of roasted flavors and some wood. I like it really well!

 Part 9. of the Fidji tasting! This has once again real funk...an extremely fruity, but also alcoholic nose...the palate is intensely spicy and toasty, as is the finish!The Nectar needs time in the glass...but then it unfolds its intense aroma! ClassToday at the blind tasting to the E(a)sterweeks:My first impression is confirmed! Very intense, very tasty

 Kein schlechter Rum, aber insgesamt scheint Fidji nicht mein bevorzugtes Profil zu sein 🤔🙃

 Blind Tasting,

 #5 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: Fiji max. 5 years of aging 50% low ester So let‘s give the fiji another shot 😜 Result: It‘s from Fiji 🥹 High impact of Alcohol and various fruits in the nose with some hidden notes of black tea. Very lovely. In mouth starts with spice and ginger, a bit of astringency. The finish is quite short and unspectacular

 I find in the nose ripe apples or baked apple :)Alcohol is very present in the nose and on the palate, almost pungent.Compared to other rums from the South Pacific distillery not quite as many esters and tropical fruits.Good rum but no easy sipper.

 Funky, a bit woody, peach, and unfortunately a bit of an alcoholic burn. Light in color and quite balanced. Due to the burn I have to detract from the otherwise very good experience.

 Not my piece of cake, but indeed better than other Fijian rums

 Papaya and peach in a cloud of esters reminiscent of Jamaica on the nose. In the taste, there is also some coconut. Points are deducted for the finish, which unfortunately lasts much too short. Extremely tasty, alcohol very well integrated.

 First impression on the nose was here at blind tasting ne small ester bomb. The impression has but probably somewhat deceived because these notes evaporate but reasonably quickly. It remains something medicinal in the nose, but not too intrusive. Notes of tea and citrus soften the aromas.At the palate's then clearly more toasty and fruity. We have peach tea, some herbs, the whole with gentle sweetness and refreshing minerality. A little pushes the alcohol, but then there's a nice roasty profile in the finish with good dark chocolate and cocoa and a few sharp notes framed by a little dry fruit.Pleased!

 Ein sehr guter Fiji. Eine sehr schöne Nase!!!

 Ich bin schließlich bei Fiji gelandet... In der Nase ist er eine wahre Explosion von Fruchtaromen (Pfirsiche, Papaya) mit einer milden Zitrusnote, dann kommen die Kräuter und Heilpflanzen heftig durch. Er hat seinen eigenen Funk, wenn auch ganz anders als ein jamaikanischer Rum, grüner und frischer. Am Gaumen ist er würziger und verkohlt. Wirklich schön und ich bin froh, dass ich die Flasche mitgenommen habe ;)
