The Coconut variety of Blue Chair Bay rum is produced in Barbados. The distillery is located just yards from the beach, while the rum is aged nearby in white oak casks.
Well known country singer Kenny Chesney created the The Blue Chair Bay rum brand, which is named after his ballad "Old Blue Chair."

A little on the sweet side but good coconut flavor. Very smooth. No alcohol burn.
mixed with the real sugar Mexican Coca-Cola from Costco. This is really tasty, just enough coconut flavor but not overpowering. I'd like to try the Blue Chair Spiced Rum but minimum order in Pennsylvania is 3 bottles.
I believe this might be the best coconut rum I've tasted so far, not counting it's spiced sibling of course. I'm not crazy about coconut rums, but this is not overpowered by coconut flavors.
This was my introduction to rum. Very smooth. Great coconut flavor. Love to drink it with a splash of pineapple juice.
Full on Edit:
I guess Malibu Rum is so bad, anything gets raved about.
I was planning on trying some new tiki drinks that have Malibu as an ingredient. Like most people here, I remember Malibu as stupidly sweet and artificially coconut flavored liqueur.
So BCB has high ratings here and 40%(!) ABV? Okay, Banana Cream was a disappointment, but I decided to give this a try anway. OH, and it's 26.5% ABV. Not that different from Malibu.
I opened the bottle and sniffed it... and smelled nothing the first time. Poured some in a glass swirled it and got the faint odor of Sex Wax Coconut or suntan lotion (not that I have any problem with that). Sniffed the bottle again and almost smelled coconut there, but they certainly weren't concerned with the smell when they made this.
Taste: It's just sweet enough to be balanced (for me anyway), not cloying or syrupy. Probably is for a lot of other people here. Mostly just straight drinkable. Tastes unsurprisingly like coconut with a slight bitter aftertaste that made me think of suntan lotion again. The flavor is mostly clean.
And the rum flavor... Wait this is rum? There was a light bite, but that's it. Nothing rummy about it, really.
Tried this in a couple mixed drinks, and although the flavor straight is quiet mild, it's faint in the cocktails and a bit odd because of the Sex Wax smell.
Frustrated, I bought a bottle of Malibu, which I haven't in years, and compared these straight and in a cocktail side by side.
Both are about as sweet. (Yeah, that surprised me.) Malibu has less of a smell, but also less beachy(?) and surprisingly less artificial. Malibu is also thicker, which is noticeable when you swirl the glass. Malibu is also milder and burns even less.
In a cocktail? I tried the classic Lei Lani Volcano which has guava, pineapple and lime juices. Although the original recipe calls for Malibu, it's completely lost in the drink. I just couldn't taste a bit of coconut. Blue Chair Bay brought it's funky beach coconut smell lightly to the drink.
I'm not sure I love either.
You'd be better off getting some mildly aged rum and adding Coco Lopez... which is probably why Lei Lani Volcano 2.0 exists.
Disappointed on the whole, but this is a hair better than Malibu. Wouldn't buy it again though.
Tastes at the Forbidden Hole December 29 2023
Appearance: clear
Aroma: coconut/coconut suntan oil
Flavor: artificial coconut
Here's the problem: I've had better coconut rums, much better. So the artificial coconut flavor is very noticeable. It turns up hot, cools down and what is left is the weird off flavor of movie theater popcorn butter.
I did not enjoy this rum. I do understand why others might like it; I hope they get to try a good coconut rum one day.
It is much better than things like Malibu when comparing this rum. Very nice smooth coconut taste, can drink straight. Light on the alcohol so nice mixer for drinks
Very delicious stuff. Great to always have around. No one dislikes it. My only criticism is that its coconut flavor can be interpreted as somewhat synthetic, but the truth is that Blue Chair Bay Coconut is so refreshing and smooth that the inorganic flavors of coconut are easily outweighed by the quality of the rum itself. It's more like a processed coconut "candy" flavor; however, Blue Chair Bay Coconut goes far beyond the taste of Bacardi Coconut, Malibu, or Parrot Bay. What's more is that it's easily and conveniently carried by many liquor stores across the US, so it's not difficult to find. I typically pick this up for $19 at Walmart Liquors. This rum can be enjoyed on its own or with Coke.

I normally shy away from flavored rums, but since I finally got a hold of Plantation Pineapple Rum, I wound up on a quest to reinvent the Pina Colada from being something wimpy to something with a kick to it. One successful attempt had me mixing equal parts chilled Coco Lopez with an equal part of Plantation Pineapple Rum with no ice. The pineapple and coconut flavors combined with the rum, but it was too creamy and sweet.
So I searched through these reviews for a very good coconut rum. I had tried Koloa Gold when I was in Kauai last year, and it was so bad that I did not want to bring a bottle of their coconut rum home with me, which I later found out is highly rated. Then I found this Blue Chair Coconut Rum in a store and gladly plunked down the $17 price for it. Wow, this one can be sipped neat, warm or cold, on the rocks, or mixed with any other tropical flavors such as Creme de Cacao or Amaretto.
So how did my more powerful Pina Colada stack up? Try 1 part Plantation Pineapple Rum, 3 parts Blue Chair Coconut Rum, and 2 parts Plantation 3-Star Silver Rum for the perfect balance. Mix well and pour over ice to desired taste. No more creamy Pina Colada! The only problem with this drink is that the Plantation Pineapple Rum is hard to find.
Update: Now that I own what I consider to be the ultimate coconut rum (Koloa Toasted Coconut from Kauai), I needed to know how this one stacks up against it. When that Koloa finally runs out, I may have a very hard time finding another bottle, so a side by side taste test was needed. This one has 26.5% ABV and the Koloa has 40% ABV. This one is sweetened coconut and the Koloa is unsweetened toasted coconut. Both have a pronounced coconut flavor, which is what I want. If I never find another bottle of Koloa, this one will serve me better than the Siesta Key Toasted Coconut because that one contains honey, which is not part of the tropics.
I am also NOT a fan of Kenny Chesney, who owns Blue Chair Bay Rums. However, this rum did inspire me to order his two best beach music CD's, which are totally out of character compared to the rest of his rabble rousing drunken sing alongs that his fans just eat up.
