Takamaka Coco Seychelles Rum Liqueur 70 cl 25%

Coconut and rum is a classic combination, but Takamaka Coco stays firmly on the right side of the line between delicious and sickly sweet.

Expert description

Takamaka Coco is a Rum Liqueur flavoured with coconut and bottled at 25%.

The liqueur comes from Trois Frères Distillery on Mahé in the Seychelles and is made with a blend of pot still and column still distillate, subsequently flavoured with coconut. The result is a liqueur closer to a soft, coconut-forward expression than a heavy, sugar-dominated coconut liqueur, making it more versatile both in cocktails and as a relaxed drink on its own.
