Koko Kanu Coconut

As coconut rums go, this is considered by many as being one of the best, if not the best. If it was judged on smell alone then I would whole heartedly agree, because it smells amazing. It takes me back to when I was much younger and I would drink Malibu and Coke on a night out with the boys. Those of you born in the 70’s will surely be able to relate. Drank neat, Koko Kanu has a very syrupy feel to it, almost viscous like and is incredibly sweet, maybe too sweet if I’m being totally honest. But, it does taste delicious, with zero alcohol burn and no horrid aftertaste. So for sure, this rum can and will be enjoyed neat by the vast majority of the rum community. But for those rum drinkers like myself who do think Koko Kanu is just a tad too sugary, especially after a few doubles of the stuff, then I suggest you use Coca-Cola as a mixer. Because turned into a long drink, Koko Kanu thankfully becomes less sickly and much more polished.

very fine and fuzzy rum. the taste is smooth and balanced

Forget Malibu! This is the best coconut rum ever. It's so delicious, it can be drunk straight. The secret is that it is made using real coconut and nothing else. Seriously recommended!

Strong coconut flavour, higher percentage than malibu but easy drinking still

Lovely coconut taste best I've tried so far. Bought of Amazon.

Sladký kokosový likér. Jako aperitiv dobré. Když má člověk chuť na něco sladší ho, tak skvělá volba.

i don't know where the difference is to malibu. but it has a nice image. it sounds not so "mainstream" like malibu ;)

it works great with cola or coco-cocktails.

Mixes well, has the sweetness of coconut you want. Shoots well with a squeeze of lime.

Most people that want this either know its a solid option for cocktails or have ordered a Malibu and coke when you dont sell it. For this reason it gets a 7 as it's the ideal choice for both scenarios!

People compare this rum to Malibu where as in actual fact, they're miles apart. For a start Koko Kanu is a spirit (35% and over) whereas Malibu is a coconut liqueur. This rum uses real coconut for flavour as opposed to the over-sweet chemically taste of Malibu. A great rum as a mixer! If you have Malibu at home, throw it out and buy a bottle of this, you will not be disappointed.
