Coconut Cartel Rum

A new twist on Añejo Rum

Aged in new, charred American white oak barrels for 4 to 12 years, and cut to 80 proof with freshly harvested coconut water.

This blend features tropical aromas of fresh coconut with hints of banana, mango and vanilla. Upon tasting, notes of plantain, caramel, sandalwood and burnt brown sugar come forward with of course coconut making a subtle appearance alongside a flint of minerality and a touch of saltiness from the coconut water. Be warned, this is not a sweet rum, as you might think.

Coconut Cartel is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Add a unique dimension to classic rum or whiskey cocktails. 750ML, 40% Alc/Vol.

Can not ship to LA,MA,MI,MS,OH,ID or PO boxes.

About the Brand - Coconut Cartel

But nothing about Coconut Cartel is ordinary. They started this hustle in 2012 by smuggling coconuts from an island off the coast of El Salvador to some of the best hotels and restaurants in South Florida. Yes, you read that right, smuggling coconuts. They loaded a suitcase full of coconuts, hopped on a plane to Miami and became known as the Coconut Cartel.

Over many years, The Zig siblings expanded their coconut smuggling ring, eventually building a small empire serving boozy coconut cocktails to Miami’s elite and celebrities like Drake, Prince Harry, Martha Stewart and more. Those boozy coconuts would become the inspiration for their next expansion: premium rum.

Danielle “La Jefa” is the brains behind the operation. Before the age of 30, she grew their small coconut operation into an international spirits company.

Mike is the connector. Having grown up between Central America and Miami, he spent the better part of 20 years exploring every inch of Guatemala and El Salvador. His curiosity and connections led him to develop the relationships that have given them exclusive access to a reserve of the world’s finest añejo rums, and of course, our delicious coconut supply.

Together with their syndicate of Farmers, Distillers and Smugglers, they create and distribute products that showcase the world’s most mysterious terroir. They believe Central America is a treasure trove of flavors and culture worth exploring, and they’re excited to share it with you. *Women & BIPOC Owned
