About MALIBU(R)

MALIBU is the delicious Caribbean fine light rum, now with four distinct flavors - coconut, pineapple, mango and passion fruit - that bring to life the seriously easy attitude of the islands. Like all rums, sugar cane is the basis for MALIBU. After distillation, a portion of the rum is aged in oak barrels for one to two years, and then blended with coconut, pineapple, mango or passion fruit and sugar to create the unique taste of MALIBU. MALIBU is a versatile, mixable spirit. Try it with cola or with fruit juice for a smooth delicious taste.
