Currently produced in Canada, Malibu Coconut rum was originally made in Curaçao from fruit spirits flavored with coconut and rum. The original recipe was developed as a shortcut for bartenders making Piña Coladas, however today the stands on its own.

Det här är ju inte riktigt rom, men väldigt god att göra drinkar på.
Apelsinjuice eller dylikt + is är en enkel men läskande kombination.

This is my teenage rum...one of those i used to use by then in my efforts to mix up tropical drinks. I don`t use it anymore, it has purely nostalgic value to me. It`s not a good rum, overly sweet and cloying.The bottle is pretty though, i could use it as a soap dispenser:-)

Fine for a mixed drink or cocktail for some coconut kick, but I would pass on this one as a rum :)

It tastes like liquid tanning oil, it's low proof overly sweet and not cheap. Best to use a flavored rum like Cruzan or make your own.
Pretty much run of the mill coconut rum. Overly sweet and very coconut forward. Has set the standard for coconut rum mixers for years
Sweet coconut flavor, great for a light mixed drinks. Summer favorite.
Great with champagne and pineapple juice. Or even mixed with a spiced rum.

Tasted Wednesday March 27 at Laka Lono Kill Devil Rum Club coconut rum tasting.
Appearance: clear
Aroma: sun tan oil. not lotion, oil.
Flavor: tastes like bonne bell lipsmacker from the 70s
Tasting notes: true to the original advertising slogan, Malibu does indeed taste like sunshine. A very sweet sunshine. I'd probably prefer this with a cola rather than as a sipper, but I feel we need to respect the original.

Not bad. Basically it is sweet cocktail in the bottle.

Maybe this has changed over the years, or I have, but trying this again for the first time, I was kind of surprised.
I didn't find this as sweet or artificial as I remember. Also, except for a really mild, but round coconut smell and flavor, there's not much there.
It doesn't really have an alcohol burn and it doesn't taste like rum. Thicker in texture than Blue Chair Bay, which I compared this directly with, but the smell is less artificial (no really).
That said, once it was in a cocktail, I couldn't even find it, artificial or not.
Still won't buy this again, but the same goes for Blue Chair Bay.

Malibu Coconut Rum…Malibu is synonymous with the flavored rum category. Heck they might have invented it! Isn’t this usually everyone’s first coconut rum? Here I am just now getting to it. Was it worth the wait? Nope.
The aroma when I first opened the bottle was very nice. Pretty much what i expected. The smell suntan lotion. It’s like being poolside at a cheap hotel on a hot day. The taste? I was a bit let down. Sure there was some coconut and sugar. Lots of sugar really. But still I can’t believe with all that sweet how much of a bitter finish there is in Malibu Coconut Rum. Quite a bit of astringency for only clocking in at 42 octane. Even with a very small amount in my standard Tampico Citrus Punch that bitter finish just reared it’s ugly…tail.
The verdict? I will stick to Whaler’s or Cruzan for my low octane coconut rum mixers. Parrot Bay 90 proof coconut rum when I need some kick.
