The Berry Bros. & Rudd Fijian 11yo rum is a remarkable example of fine rum-making, with a balance that is truly noteworthy. The masterful reduction used in this rum allows the flavors to unfold on the palate without the need for aggressive tasting. The flavors glide and settle on the tongue, building to a crescendo that illuminates the senses. Notes of fruit, herbs, copper, honey, chocolate, and vanilla are seamlessly integrated, taking on a syrupy, brioche-like quality.
This rum transports you to a classic English orchard, with rich, coppery undertones. The tropical fruits are perfectly ripe, yet any potential acidity is expertly balanced by a well-judged reduction that promises a rounded, creamy mouthfeel. A hint of resin then emerges, introducing a subtle pastry-like quality reminiscent of stone fruit and almond.
As the rum aerates and settles, a velvety veil descends, like a rum-soaked paper, a layer of almond powder, or a blanket of vanilla. The tropical fruits are now perfectly contained, their sweet, perfumed flesh enjoyed without any cloying, overripe, or wild undertones.
This is a magnificently executed reduction, resulting in a rum that is highly aromatic, yet also smooth and almost creamy. This molasses-based rum hails from the Fijian islands and has been carefully selected and blended by the renowned British merchant, Berry Bros. & Rudd.
This rum is a true testament to the art of rum-making, with its expert balance of flavors and textures. The Berry Bros. & Rudd Fijian 11yo rum is a must-try for any serious rum enthusiast.
The aroma is a complex blend of honey, glue, polish, acetone, and tropical fruit, offering an intense and intriguing olfactory experience.
The taste profile includes notes of geranium, waxes, smoky elements, nail polish, plastic, and vanilla, presenting an excellent aromatic palette.
The finish is long and interesting, featuring notes of fruits, vegetal elements, and a patissier-like roundness, reminiscent of a Fijian tiramisu.
This rum is perfect for serious rum enthusiasts who appreciate a complex and multifaceted flavor profile. It can even be enjoyed as a gourmet alternative to coffee.
This rum has been carefully selected and blended by the renowned British merchant, Berry Bros. & Rudd.
On the nose, this rum is intense and all over the place, starting with a saline, iodine sensation, followed by citrus (lemon) and varnish notes. It gives the impression of being at a shipyard where boats are being sanded and repainted. Upon tasting, it reveals a distinctive Islay malt finish with saline notes, licorice, and citrus. The flavor explosion in the mouth is excellent, and the finish, marked by coffee and chocolate notes, is quite remarkable, resembling an excellent Fijian tiramisu. Although not exceptional for those who dislike coffee, it remains a magnificent bottling by Berry Bros. & Rudd, perfect as a gourmet rum alternative to coffee.
