Parrot Bay Mango

Aroma: Smells of rotting fruit and lavender dish soap (?!?) Flavor: An unidentified chemical compound (or several) that tastes like artificially sweetened and flavored tropical fruit juice or watered-down, old, fruit cordial. It has an astonishingly non-mango flavor. Finish: Cruelly medium. How I wish it was short. The thin yet cloying awfulness lingers on the tongue for far too long. It appears there are many bottlings available in different parts of the world. This review pertains specifically to a mango flavored "malt beverage" sold in Australia (and possibly other regions). This is not flavored rum. It is something like a mix between flavored vodka and flavored moonshine. It is very sweet, low proof, and is correctly categorized as a liqueur, not a spirit. It is not enjoyable. For additional details about this range of Parrot Bay liqueurs that are capitalizing on the reputation (?) of Parrot Bay rum, see my review of Parrot Bay Coconut. “Bad”: 55/100 (0.5 stars)
