Review: Seacrets Coconut Rum
S
eacrets Coconut Rum is made in Ocean City Maryland. Owner and Founder Leighton Moore opened the distillery June 29, 2016. Leighton grew up in the Hospitality industry. At 15 he was responsible for the day to day operations of the family business at the Gateway Motel in Ocean City. Inspired by his many trips to Jamaica Moore opened Seacrets Bar and Restaurant June 29, 1988. Seacrets has since grown, becoming one of the largest entertainment resorts in the US featuring 18 bars, 7 performance areas, a casual dining restaurant, a boutique, a radio station, and Seacrets Distillery. The 12,000 Square foot distillery currently produces whiskey, gin, five vodka varieties, and four rums. Seacrets Coconut Rum starts with their white rum base made from a blend of two high grade molasses, and fermented with American yeast. The rum is double distilled. All natural coconut flavor is blended before bottling at 60 proof. The aroma is creamy coconut, vanilla, pineapple, and burnt sugar. The sweet vanilla entry is joined by coconut gelato. Pineapple arrives at the midpoint. It fades with coconut cream and burnt sugar. The finish is warm and smooth with a rum tingle, brown sugar, tangy pineapple, and coconut cake taste. Master Distiller Cody Miller did a nice job crafting a tasty Coconut Rum that isn’t too sweet to enjoy on the rocks. I also appreciate the presence of their award winning white rum throughout.
