Malibu Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liquor - Original

Most tasters agree on the same thing: this drinks more like a sweet coconut liqueur than a rum, and neat it doesn't win people over. At 21% it's light, very sugary, with a coconut note several call artificial — closer to suntan lotion than fresh coconut. But drop it into a piña colada and the mood changes: fans say it does its one job well.

The community says
  • Easy coconut flavor

Very sweet coconut mixer, not a sipper Divisive as a sipping rum — most find it too sweet and artificial neat. As a cocktail base, though, several members happily reach for it. "Really not enjoyable neat. Made for cocktails."

Unfortunately, this has little to do with rum. But is drinkable and for the first pina colada then quite good although there are much better alternatives. This one is sweet and the coconut flavor too artificial. The price but OK.

For cocktails only! Low rating, but it is not a "rum" born to be tasted. The excessively low alcohol content does not make it a rum.
