Aluna Coconut Rum 70cl

Product Information

Pour all rum and soda into a glass of cubed ice. Add freshly squeezed lime juice, stir and serve with slices of lime Shake all the ingredients together with crushed ice, strain and serve. Garnish with coffee beans and grated chocolate, et voila. The perfect serve.

After fermenting, these ingredients are added to Aluna’s core elements: a premium mix of Caribbean and Guatemalan rum. Two spirits come together to create a rum blend that is characterful and clean, bearing classic warm spiciness and a well-rounded body.

Much like Malibu, Aluna Coconut Rum technically isn’t a rum under EU law. It is bottled at 35% ABV. Standard Malibu is 21% ABV in the UK. It is really a rum based spirit drink. It is a flavoured rum. It’s not an amazingly complex sipper but it does offer a sweet, tasty and refreshing “sorbet” like palate cleanser or occasional after dinner sip. Its certainly a lot better than some of the sugar laden “Premium” straight rums out there. There’s a lot less bullshit on the bottle as well. Made with no added sugars or artificial flavourings, Aluna Rum draws its light sweetness from first press sugar cane and a special strain of yeast from the pineapple plant.

Rum’s flavours range from the light, bright and tropical (think pineapple, mango, vanilla, maybe a hint of spice – Bajan rums are a good example) to deep, dark and rich (chocolate, coffee, burnt sugar, even liquorice – typified by Guyanese rums). Lighter rums mix well with citrus and tropical flavours, hence the ubiquitous mojito (white rum, lime, mint, sugar/syrup and soda water) or holiday favourites such as the daiquiri (hold the mint and soda from the mojito and serve in a swankier glass) and piña colada (add pineapple juice and coconut milk/cream).Personally, I think this has a bit more to it than sugary coconut and I prefer it to Koko Kanu. Both offer a good taste of coconut but this offers a bit more complexity with a bit more variety in the coconut notes. I found with Koko Kanu that you got a real residue of granulated sugar around the screw cap. I have had this bottle of Aluna for some time now. I’ve not noticed any sugar granules forming either in the rum or around the closure.

Aluna Rum is a harmonious blend of coconut and pure rum, offering a refreshing, low-sugar spirit ideal for discerning palates seeking a lighter yet flavourful tropical libation. This enchanting spirit intertwines the subtle sweetness of toasted coconut with the crisp, clear notes of high-quality white rum, resulting in a sumptuously smooth and clean finish.Serve Aluna Coconut neat over ice (ideally made with coconut water) and savour the delicious natural coconut flavour It may not have the depth and character of some of the more “serious” varieties of flavored and spiced rums, but coconut rum holds a revered place in the pantheon of fruity drinks. It's not highly alcoholic, and diluting it even further with soda or fruit juice means it's great for daytime sipping. 4. Can you drink coconut rum by itself?
