Review: Beach Road Coconut Rum
Beach Road Coconut Rum is crafted at Paradise North Distillery in Green Bay Wisconsin. While Green Bay Wisconsin is not exactly where you might picture a beach, much less a place where coconut rum is produced, Green Bay Wisconsin does have a beach on Lake Michigan, and the distillery is located on Bay Beach Road. Tom Feld opened The Paradise North Distillery in 2021. They currently produce several rums, vodka, and whiskey. Beach Road Coconut Rum is made from their Beach Road Silver rum base distilled from domestically sourced black strap molasses, and raw can sugar. Natural coconut flavor, and pure cane sugar are blended before bottling at 70 proof. The aroma leads with charred oak and burnt match stick. Additional time brings out molasses, warm vanilla, tropical fruit, and toasted coconut. The sweet cane sugar, tropical fruit, and vanilla entry is joined by green olive and oak building to a sugary toasted coconut flake peak. It fades with tropical fruit, and molasses, and finishes with creamy coconut, cane sugar, tropical fruit, runny caramel, and oak. Beach Road Coconut Rum is a sophisticated coconut rum that doesn’t try to drowned out the rum base with syrupy coconut liquor flavor. It is also an example of why I don’t take one sip, spit it out, and write my review. The more I sip Beach Road Coconut Rum, the more I like it.
