Taste oak, vanilla, coconut and salt with a medium long finish and sweet and oaky tang. Sip neat or pour over ice. Coconut Cartel Special is a tropical take on a classic Guatemalan sipping rum. It starts off with a barrel of the finest single origin Guatemalan a?ejo rum distilled in copper column stills and rested in charred American white oak barrels for up to 12 years. The magic happens when we use fresh, locally grown coconut water to down-proof our a?ejo blend from cask to bottle strength (80 proof). The coconut water's natural minerality brings balance to the blend making Coconut Cartel extra smooth and refreshing.
