Coconut Cartel Special Guatemalan Dark Rum

Coconut Cartel Special is an aged Guatemalan dark rum with an unusual twist: instead of plain water, it is brought down to bottling strength with fresh coconut water. The result is a rum meant for sipping rather than a sweet coconut-flavoured spirit, with the coconut playing a subtle supporting role. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle under the 'Special' label, which shows the brand's twin pelicans and the words 'Guatemalan Dark Rum with Coconut Water'. Coconut Cartel has not published detailed tasting notes for this release, so enjoy it neat first and judge for yourself how the coconut water shapes the aged rum.

Serve: Neat or over ice; it also works in a rum Old Fashioned or with cola.
