Nobilis Rum continues its journey with rare rums by releasing the 2004 Fiji South Pacific No.16, a remarkable edition that stands out in the world of fine spirits. This particular rum has been meticulously aged for 17 years and is bottled at a robust 61.1% ABV. Limited to just 218 bottles, this release is a testament to Nobilis Rum's dedication to exclusivity and quality. Distilled at the renowned South Pacific Distillery in Fiji, it combines both molasses and pure cane juice, a traditional practice in Guadeloupe. The aging process has imparted a rich, golden color to the rum. On the nose, it reveals a complex aroma with tropical fruit, vanilla, solvents, caramel, chocolate, and citrus. The palate is warm and spicy, with flavors of roasted dark chocolate, vanilla, dried fruit, and coffee. The finish is lingering, marked by notes of roasted wood, cocoa, dark chocolate, and a subtle bitterness reminiscent of raisins. While this rum may not exhibit the typical ester-forward profile of many Fiji rums, it offers a unique and well-balanced experience that makes it a noteworthy addition to any collection. The 2004 release from the South Pacific Distillery may surprise fans of Fiji rums with its unexpected flavor profile, making it a must-try for rum enthusiasts.
