Parrot Bay Mango

Nose: Rotting fruit, lavender dishwashing liquid (?!?) Palate: An unidentified chemical compound (or several) that tastes like artificially sweetened and flavoured tropical fruit juice or overdiluted, old, fruit cordial. It tastes astonishingly unlike mango. Finish: Cruelly medium. How I wish it was short. The thin but cloying awfulness stays on the tongue for much too long. It appears that there are many Parrot Bay bottlings available in different parts of the globe. This review relates specifically to a mango flavoured “malt beverage” that is sold in Australia (and perhaps other areas). This is not Parrot Bay flavoured rum. It is something like a cross between flavoured vodka and flavoured moonshine. It is very sweet, low proof and is properly classified as a liqueur, not a spirit. It is not enjoyable. For more details about this range of Parrot Bay liqueurs that is exploiting the reputation (?) of Parrot Bay rum, see my review of Parrot Bay Coconut. “Bad” : 55/100 (0.5 stars)
