Aluna Coconut Rum 70cl

Product Information

Aluna Coconut Rum is surprisingly shippable and very enjoyable. The nose is transferred across into the sip. Toasted coconut, coconut water, vanilla, toffee and just enough alcohol to remind you this is 35% ABV. They suggest adding ice. Again its quite refreshing to see that they are confident to not just mix this drink. Running alongside the coconut notes is a nicely balanced vanilla and light toffee from the rum. With many “coco-rums” particularly those suspicious bottles you find in mainland Europe, the alcohol is overwhelming and rather unpleasant. No such problems here. This is really nice. It is sweet but compared to Koko Kanu and Malibu there is definitely a huge step down in the sugar levels. It measured on the Hydrometer at 25g/L whereas I couldn’t get a reading of Koko Kanu (suggesting over 100 g/L of additives).

Malibu is a coconut flavored liqueur, made with Caribbean rum, and possessing an alcohol content by volume of 21.0 % (42 proof). As of 2017 the Malibu brand is owned by Pernod Ricard, who calls it a "flavored rum", where this designation is allowed by local laws....Malibu (rum) 2. Is coconut rum actually rum?

Lighter rums mix well with citrus and tropical flavours, hence the ubiquitous mojito (white rum, lime, mint, sugar/syrup and soda water) or holiday favourites such as the daiquiri (hold the mint and soda from the mojito and serve in a swankier glass) and piña colada (add pineapple juice and coconut milk/cream).

It may not have the depth and character of some of the more “serious” varieties of flavored and spiced rums, but coconut rum holds a revered place in the pantheon of fruity drinks. It's not highly alcoholic, and diluting it even further with soda or fruit juice means it's great for daytime sipping. 4. Can you drink coconut rum by itself?

Consider this similar product...

Aluna Rum is a harmonious blend of coconut and pure rum, offering a refreshing, low-sugar spirit ideal for discerning palates seeking a lighter yet flavourful tropical libation. This enchanting spirit intertwines the subtle sweetness of toasted coconut with the crisp, clear notes of high-quality white rum, resulting in a sumptuously smooth and clean finish. The nose is surprisingly good. Really nice toasted coconut notes – like fresh Macaroons desiccated coconut and a slightly less sweet note of natural coconut water running over it all. It promises everything on the label. If you don’t like coconut – particularly in its natural fresh state then this isn’t for you. If you do then this does have a air of authenticity. Serve Aluna Coconut neat over ice (ideally made with coconut water) and savour the delicious natural coconut flavour
