Malibu is the world’s best-selling coconut rum, a blend of Caribbean rums given a distinct natural coconut flavour and bottled at a lower 21% ABV than most rums. The nose is unctuous with coconut, a touch of wax and vanilla, and the palate opens with a clear blast of coconut sweetness that carries through to the finish. It’s built for easy drinking rather than complexity, the coconut character dominating everything else by design. That makes it a straightforward mixer: a Piña Colada, a Malibu and pineapple, or simply poured over ice, with its lower proof meaning it can be poured a little more generously than a full-strength rum.
