Encyclopedia > Malibu Rum

Malibu Rum is a rum made in Barbados with natural coconut extract. Although the drink is made in Barbados, it is bottled in Dumbarton, Scotland by Pernod Ricard. It was first blended and bottled in 1985.[citation needed] The alcohol content by volume is 21.0% (42 proof). Advertising campaigns label it "Seriously Easy Going" and usually features people from the Caribbean taking life seriously, in a parody of the stress associated with the Western urban lifestyle, with a voiceover at the end saying "If people in the Caribbean took life as seriously as this, they would never have invented Malibu.
