Review: Kalani Coconut Liqueur

Kalani Coconut Liqueur is a 100% natural coconut rum liqueur made from fresh coconut milk extracted from a special hybrid of coconut brought over to the Yucatan by Rafael Aristi, nicknamed Malayan Dwarf Coconuts.    The fruits of the Yucatan are pollinated by the rare stingless bees, a treasure of the knowledge of Mayan tradition.  The Aristi family grows the organic coconuts on their plantation called Oxtapacab in the Yucatan.  Oxtapacab was originally a Dutch sisal factory for rope making.  The hand picked coconuts are shelled, shredded and pressed to release their milk and pulp, which is then fermented.  The fermented coconut milk is macerated with Mexican sugarcane rum and sugar.  Kalani is bottled onsite at Casa D’Aristi at 60 proof.
