Siesta Key Toasted Coconut

I’ll admit I don’t know rum that well. So, take score with a grain of salt. However, after reading reviews from local store, I got some to sip as a “dessert” after dinner - I love coconut. Has a distinctive flavor and smell. Know what I don’t like? Chocolate. (Yeah, people say I’m weird.) Neither the nose not the palate give any coconut from this bottle. Honey on the nose and chocolate on the palate. Did I get a bum bottle? Not sure, but won’t buy again. It’s not that it’s bad, but I’d rather have something else. I’ll struggle through this bottle neat or over ice, but I’m disappointed in the reality of my bottle after what I’d expected to find. Only $19 bottle so not breaking the bank, but also not what I’d expected.

the extra coconut flavor is a bit strong. it actually seems a bit chocolatey. tasty, but not a normal rum flavor. good for sipping.
