Companero Coconut Liqueur

Companero Coconut Liqueur comes from 1423, the Danish house better known for its serious single barrels, here turning to an unabashedly sweet flavoured release. This is a coconut rum liqueur rather than a straight rum, so it should be taken for exactly what it is, a soft and indulgent treat built around coconut.

Built on a Dominican molasses base, it is openly sweet, with coconut, caramel and vanilla running through nose and palate to a syrupy, coconut-laced finish. There is a pleasant, lightly herbal floral edge that keeps it from turning harsh, and the alcohol stays gentle in the background. It is best enjoyed as a dessert pour, over ice or in a tropical cocktail, by anyone who genuinely likes sweet coconut liqueurs. Honesty serves it well, this is a sweet mixer and a sippable curiosity, not a dry aged rum.
