This is what happens when an outstanding rum maker decides to make a coffee rum liqueur. Very rich, intense coffee flavor. I would imagine it will make an excellent white Russian but it is not easy to find and I would feel guilty doing anything but drinking it straight.
If you like coffee, you will love Araku

Araku Coffee is much closer to a traditional coffee liquor than a coffee flavored rum. It's not bad by any means, but you really have to be a coffee lover to enjoy this neat.
An ok coffee liqueur but not much of a rum

This has a nice coffee flavor, with a very syrupy liqueur-like texture. Though it says it's a "rum and coffee" drink, I'm not getting much rum flavor from it, and I find it fairly weak at only 28%abv.
There's not much else to describe it other than a thick syrupy coffee drink. Decent if you want a coffee drink, but nothing special as far as rums go. I recommend the Koloa Coffee as an example of a great coffee rum.

If you treat it as a coffee liqueur, it is truly a fantastic choice. Not so much a coffee flavored rum, but very tasty at 28% alcohol. Hard to find some of the Santa Teresa offerings around here, but I'm glad I got the last one of these on the shelf. This is sweet, but in a very nice way.
