Was just shopping online to restock my Kamanawanalea Lounge and did a search for "Tromba Tequila." They don't carry it, but their system gave me the puzzling search result shown below - Malibu Rum. Normally I'm ok with that, and I move on. But this time I noticed that the rum has a zillion 5 star ratings, and also that the description is really bizarre. "Toasted coconut, mineral and vegetable oil aromas." Is it just me, or are both the high ratings and the description way out there and bizarre? I never think of Malibu rum anywhere near 5 stars. And I never think of mineral oil or vegetable oil as being aromatic. This description seems far from being any sort of compliment. I believe the unfortunate reality is that there is not some guy at the distillery whose sole job it is to squeeze real coconuts and extract real flavor for their product. Heh.
