The Transcontinental Rum Line 2014 Fiji Line #23 is a limited edition 3-year-old pot still rum, distilled from molasses at the South Pacific Distillery in Fiji. This exceptional rum offers a captivating aroma of ester, glue, tropical fruit, overripe banana, and hints of leather, with a delightful sweetness that lingers on the palate. The nose is full-bodied, featuring a powerful expression of the Fiji style, with overripe exotic fruits, sultanas, and a coppery touch.
As you sip this ester-rich rum, you'll unravel layers of authentic flavor, including tropical fruit, banana, and a unique twist that showcases Fiji's distinct character. The entry in the mouth is powerful, yet not fiery, with exotic fruits, plums, and a touch of prune. Despite its somewhat wild and adventurous nose, this Fijian rum is a gentleman on the palate, offering a well-rounded and mildly smoky finish.
This vibrant rum is reminiscent of a Jamaican rum, but with a unique twist that sets it apart. Perfect for both sipping and mixing, this Fiji Rum is a great entry point for those looking to explore the realm of high-ester rums. After aging for over 2 years on-site in Fiji and then a little over a year in Europe, it was bottled in 2018 at 48% ABV, making it a true connoisseur's delight.

Reviewers have highlighted the intense and funky nose of this rum, which is rich in esters and reminiscent of Jamaican styles. The palate is described as surprisingly round and mild, with constant flavors and a slightly tannic bitterness in the finish. Some found the glue aroma initially overwhelming, but it fades quickly, leaving a pleasant and well-rounded experience. The rum's sweet, fruity notes and unique character make it an interesting and enjoyable dram, despite its youth. Many agree that it offers great value for its price and is a solid choice for those looking to explore high-ester rums.
