[edit] Date of first bottling

The date of the first bottling must be on or before 1982. I first drank this in Germany in 1982 and I know it became popuilar in the UK at about the same time! TinyMark 18:22, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not a rum

Malibu is not a rum. It's a rum-based coconut liqueur and is only being advertised as a rum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.99.102.92 (talk) 23:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian?

I purchased a bottle of Malibu this last weekend in Iowa, USA, and the labeling said "Product of Canada". Is this still made in Barbados? Is it then sent to Canada before coming to the USA? I wonder why they don't import it directly from Barbados? What I think is going on is that they import Barbados rum into Canada, then blend together the ingredients to make Malibu there. This would account for it being "made with Barbados rum" (as the Malibu official website says) and it still being a Product of Canada. 147.155.182.23 (talk) 02:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
