This is an exquisite, high-end rum. The coconut in the name doesn't indicate a coconut-flavored rum; instead, this excellent rum is proofed with fresh coconut water. It's enjoyable neat but also works well in many rum drinks. It's a smooth rum with a subtle coconut hint. The founders used to smuggle coconuts from Guatemala in their luggage when they first began making this wonderful rum, hence the name 'The Coconut Cartel.' It makes a great gift for any rum enthusiast and is a 5-star rum. I hope someone can provide more details on its taste characteristics. With that said, consider getting a bottle for the Labor Day weekend. It costs $39.00, and mine came with a $5 off coupon. Treat yourself to a bottle and share your thoughts. Thanks for reading.

This is outstanding. I wasn't sure what to anticipate, but the added coconut water is a fantastic complement to this rim. I enjoyed it over one large ice cube; it was exceptionally smooth, and the coconut water enhanced the great flavors. It's not available in my state, so I'll be disappointed when this bottle is empty.
I used to think I disliked rum! This flavored rum offers a satisfying salted caramel popcorn taste without the cloying, overly sweet aftertaste common in most flavored rums. The final note is toasted coconut, free from any artificial chemical taste.
An excellent rum blended with coconut water. It creates a delightful drink suitable for sipping straight or enhancing any cocktail without introducing artificial flavors.
