Rum Jumbie Rum Coconut Splash

Coconut-flavored rum is one of those spirits that has either too much coconut or too much of a syrupy taste. It is a flavor that is difficult to find with a nice balance. Rum Jumbie's Coconut Splash comes close to making the grade of a very good coconut rum. It is certainly not overtly sweet like many, but has a soft sweetness. The coconut is also not overbearing, in fact some reviews I've seen complain that there is not enough coconut. For me it's nicely "splashed" with coconut, which is the point of this flavor line; add a splash of flavor to a rum. In that context they did a great job, though the aroma of the coconut will make you think you are going to get more coconut than you do in the end.
