Takamaka Takamaka Coco Rum
"The better Malibu" is how one member sums it up, and that's the honest frame: at 25% this is really a coconut liqueur, not a rum. Expect big coconut, vanilla and plenty of sugar, with a slight spirity edge some tasters didn't love. A few call the coconut natural and pleasant; others find it artificial and syrupy. Where it shines is in a Pina Colada.
The community says- Strong coconut note

How does Takamaka Takamaka Coco Rum taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet coconut liqueur, best in cocktails Most agree it's more coconut liqueur than rum — sweet, mild and a bit spirity, but a genuinely good mixer. Split on whether the coconut reads natural or artificial.

#6910 13.06.2026 Relaxing with some samples after a nice dinner and evening at my friends place. Listening to some powerful Psy Trance on Spotify. A very cheap mixer with a lot of coconut, vanilla, caramel and sugarcane.
Review by Timo Groeger
Day trip Münster July 2025. Pub Bar Levin. Here are three Takamakas I still need. First, the coconut. Actually not bad at all, quite sweet, but the coconut and vanilla balance that out quite well.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely sweet, almost soapy and syrupy and rather artificial. Has something of Bounty coconut bars and also slightly spritzy... There are definitely much better representatives of coconut rum in my opinion!
Review by Oliver
The better "Malibu". Coconut, mild, sweet and drinkable.
Review by Nicofr
At 25%, I’d rather call it a coconut liqueur. To be used exclusively for long-drink cocktails (like Pina Colada or others...), very sweet with a slight vanilla taste but very good in the end.
Review by Tim
Ein Besuch der Takamaka-Destillerie lohnt sich! Während der Pandemie hat sich die Destillerie neben ihrer qualitativ hochwertigerem Pot-Still aus frischem Zuckerrohrsaft von den Seychellen in sehr kleinen Mengen ein zweites Standbein durch eine dreifach Column-Still aufgebaut, die mit Melasse aus dem Ausland (Mauritius) arbeitet. Damit kann kontinuierlich in großen Mengen produziert werden, wobei hiermit das Cocktail- and Anfängersegment bedient wird. Durch die dreifache Destillation entsteht ein sehr neutraler Rum, der im Nachgang mit Aromen (z.B Fruchtessenzen, Zimt, Vanille, manchmal auch mit Farbstoff und Zucker) versetzt wird. Dieser Rumlikör ist etwas besser als die Ananasvariante. Das neue Segment hilft der Destillerie finanziell, aber ein Qualitätsrum entsteht dabei nicht.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
Artificially flavored, heavily sweetened, only 25% ABV and still tastes boozy... you really have to manage that.
Review by Volkmar Weber
Very nice, natural coconut note. Enhances many long drinks, better to use Takamaka instead of Monin coconut syrup. Especially Pina Coladas rock immensely with it.
Review by Filip Kalinovský
Not much to add except that it tastes like a coconut praline, or a less flavored bounty, or a less sweet Malibu :) If it had more volts and less sugar it would almost taste like the new Planterey coconut.. My wife liked it a lot, I didn't mind it and for mixers the price/performance ratio is great, no doubt about it, definitely will add to the fridge for summer.
Review by Sylvain44
Well, it's not a rum, more of a liqueur, but it's a good base for cocktails.
Review by Louis Britten
Nice and palatable, not in coconut so never gona scire highly but good for what it is.
Review by Gregor
Has unfortunately not much to do with rum.But for the pina colada really good
Review by ChristopherMino
Nice coconut that doesn't taste as sweet as others. Reminds me more of coconut water with a few percent of alcohol. For me, a wonderful liqueur, neat, on ice, or especially as a Lazy Pina Colada just mixed with pineapple juice. The Coco Rum is what I started my journey with. A few years ago I saw a good deal and consciously bought something rum-based for the first time. That's why this rum liqueur always has a place in my collection.
Review by Kieron Wood
Mixed with coke certainly goes down well. Great mixer, a much sweeter rum and very clear notes of caramel and raisen other than coconut
Review by Michael 84
A purchase made out of curiosity - neat, the coconut tastes too artificial for my liking, but in cola it surprisingly works well. Nothing more though.
