Original Coconut Rum

Date Tasted:
Country: Barbados

Clear color. Aromas and flavors of coconut cream, vanilla, and milk chocolate with a syrupy, fruity sweet medium-to-full body and a medium finish with notes of coconut and vanilla candy. A benchmark sweetened coconut flavored Rum; would make a great addition to a Piña Colada.
