Review: RumChata Coconut Cream
RumChata Coconut Cream was just released. RumChata was launched October 2009 by industry veteran and Master Blender Tom Maas. It is made with fresh Wisconsin dairy cream and ingredients from 6 countries including premium Caribbean rum, Madagascar vanilla, cinnamon, and several secret ingredients. By 2012 they were already producing 365,000 cases per year. E&J Gallo acquired Agave Loco the parent company of RumChata April 2021, along with Midwest Custom Bottling which produces the RumChata and Tippy Cow brands. Since launching E&J Gallo Brandy in 1975 E&J has created or acquired over a dozen spirits including New Amsterdam Vodka, RumHaven, Camarena, Komos, and Don Fulano Tequila, Stratusphere Gin, Dalmore and Jura Scotch, and the High Noon brand. They are now the 4th largest spirit supplier in the US. RumChata Coconut Cream joins the previously released RumChata Limon, and RumChata Peppermint Bark. I have enjoyed all three flavors, but Coconut Cream is the first new RumChata flavor since the acquisition, so I’m anxious to see if E&J has been able to continue the magic. RumChata Coconut Cream pours to a golden hued milky white color. The aroma leads with coconut flake, dairy cream, cinnamon, and Caribbean rum. The sweet cinnamon, spiced rum, and fresh dairy cream entry builds to a thick luxurious adult coconut milkshake peak. It fades with pineapple and a hint of butterscotch and finishes with tropical pina colada taste. RumChata Coconut Cream is best enjoyed within 6 months after opening. If your bottle lasts more than 6 days you have more will power than me.
