Malibu Coconut Rum is distilled from fermented molasses and blended with coconut and sugar. The brand is owned by one of the world's largest spirits producers, Pernod Ricard.
Currently produced in Canada, Malibu Coconut rum was originally made in Curaçao from fruit spirits flavored with coconut and rum.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.

This is only drinkable when mixed. Its way too sweet to sip on.
This rum is one of my wife's favorites but I can only rate it this. It's a $16 bottle to mix with sprite cranberry or a cocktail of other sorts. Not great but happy wife happy life.
Proud Canadian product great for university parties but not a real rum
Good in certain mixed drinks. Not really good to drink straight.
Your tropical drinks will be much more flavorful by adding this great tasting fun rum.
I enjoy sipping it straight up.
Be cool,

It's hard to call this sweet thing a rum. But thrown in a coke or some kind of summer cocktail, it actually does it's job. During a day on the beach, I don't mind a Malibu and coke. If no one is looking, of course...
Purely a mass production rum. The coconut is artificial and quite obvious sugar addition. Repugnantly sweet.
El mejor sin duda
Not something to drink straight or with a mixer. Almost syrup-like in consistency and to me only has a place in cheap cocktails with other strong flavours.

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.
