Malibu Black

I almost think this is Malibu Coconut with some caramel colour added and maybe a little more alcohol. I was really hoping they had taken it up a notch to be more like The Kraken or Captain's Black but to no avail. It still can't stand alone in my opinion, it is a darker mixing rum and for that I still give it a 7 although my disappointment would put it in the land of 3.

On its own this is not very drinkable, but for making some great frozen drinks it shines. Most coconut flavored rum is only ~40 proof so this is a great substitute in everything from a Pina Colada to a Rum Runner.

Så fandt jeg den! - Det jo ikke til at opdrive alt her i landet, så en tur til grænsen og wupti, så den på hylden. Gav 160 kr for hos Poetzh.dk, måtte bare eje den til samlingen :)

Den bliver smagt hurtigts muligt og en nærmere beskrivelse kommer naturligvis!

Not as strong as I expected but still tasted good. Even better when mixed.

I was looking very forward to trying this rum. It's ok. The smell is nice...i can sound all technical and say "sweet coconut and vanilla on the nose with a hint of alcohol." That would be accurate. The taste is nice but something in the finish... There is a bitter taste like an artificial sweetener. The taste is good but the finish needs a bit of work to bring it home. On the other hand it is pretty awesome in DIET Pepsi. Forget what the bottle says about 2 parts cola to 1 part rum. Equal parts and some ice will do nicely. The bitter finish still lingers a bit. Would i buy it again? Probably not and that is only because of the finish..A really good effort to be a serious rum. Just needs needs a little tweaking.

For a coconut rum, it is not as sweet as your typical Parrot Bay or Malibu, but is stronger at 70 proof. Goes pretty good with Coke, but I do prefer my coconut rum a little sweeter than this.
