Blue Chair Bay Coconut Rum

Kenny Chesney named this brand after his ballad "Old Blue Chair," and the Coconut is the bottle that made it — the flavor RumRatings tasters call the smoothest and most natural-tasting coconut rum they've tried, and several say they've tried more than their share. Blue Chair Bay launched in 2013 alongside Chesney's No Shoes Nation tour, wholly owned by the singer through his company Fishbowl Spirits, and the rums are genuinely Caribbean: distilled in Barbados from sugarcane molasses, developed with master blender Mike Booth, and aged, as the brand puts it, less than 100 feet from the high water line. The Coconut is bottled at 24.5% ABV (49 proof) — the standard strength for the category. The Rum Howler scored it 84/100 and praised a laid-back, clean, natural coconut aroma mingling with cane and vanilla rather than the suntan-lotion sweetness that plagues most of the shelf. Expect fresh coconut and light vanilla on the nose, a smooth, clean palate where the coconut leads without turning candied, and a soft finish. Chesney's own favorite serve is Coconut with sugar-free Red Bull; the classics work too — a Piña Colada, a Painkiller, coconut rum and pineapple juice, or simply over ice with a lime. Fans note it's dangerously easy to lose count. The bottle, blue at the shoulder fading to clear, is a beach-bar fixture for a reason.
