Review: Malibu Strawberry Rum

Malibu Strawberry joins a flavor lineup that already includes Original Malibu, Malibu Lime, Malibu Pineapple, Malibu Mango, Malibu Passion Fruit, Malibu Tropical Banana, Malibu Black, and Malibu Red.  Malibu Strawberry is not the first strawberry flavored rum on the market, we have already reviewed Cruzan Strawberry and Parrot Bay Strawberry.  It is also not Malibu’s first strawberry rum, they introduced Malibu Swirl Strawberries and Cream, May 2012, but later discontinued production.  As with all Malibu flavored rums they start with a rum base triple distilled at West Indies Distillery in Barbados.  The rum is made from molasses created with Caribbean cane sugar and pure water.  A proprietary yeast is used to ferment prior to distillation.  The rum is then shipped to Canada where it is blended with a Strawberry Liqueur and bottled at 42 proof.
