Malibu Pineapple Rum (175cl, 21%)

Malibu Pineapple Rum is a flavoured Caribbean rum built on Malibu's coconut-rum base with natural pineapple flavour. The base spirit comes from West Indies Rum Distillery Ltd. in Barbados, where molasses from sugarcane is distilled three times in column stills; it is then shipped to Canada, where natural pineapple flavouring and pure cane sugar are blended in before bottling. At 21% ABV it sits in the flavoured-rum-liqueur category. The aroma brings mild pureed pineapple, soft fruit-gum sweetness and a faint coconut undertone. The palate is candy-sweet with ripe pineapple, a gentle tangy citrus note and a whisper of coconut. The finish is short and smooth, with mild mouth-warming and a tangy pineapple echo.
