This rum is produced in Canada and a new line extension of the Malibu flavored rum line. Most noted for its sweet coconut line, Malibu is one of the dominant brands of flavored rum.

AppearanceClear, no sediment whatsoever. On swirling, it leaves a thin, but tenacious clear coat on the inside of the glass, which then rapidly slides right back to the bottom leaving a few small droplets behind.

First ImpressionSmells like a pina colada (air freshener) – with over amped , downright aggressive aromatic coconut and melon scents. Almost no hints of alcohol.

TasteSweet sap-like entry, much more a liqueur than a real rum. Far too sweet for my personal taste. Tastes more like a kids fruit juice cut with syrup or glycerin.

Cigars: Too sweet to have a cigar with unless this was in a mixed drink.

Final ThoughtsNot many. Very low proof rum that is almost a RTD in itself, or some other form of alcopop for the “younger” set. Good for one of those umbrella drinks or something involving a blender maybe. Could also be a alternative for Galliano or Midori in some drinks. Given the proof you are paying a lot. Buy a real bottle of rum and flavor it yourself – it’s called a cocktail.

Bottle:Clear glass bottle shrink wrapped in white plastic and green swirl assents on neck. Black screwcap closure with green accents.
