Kōloa Kaua‘i Hawaiian White Rum

Product Description

Kōloa Kaua‘i Hawaiian White Rum: Clean, Floral Cane Rum from the Garden Isle

A white rum should taste like sugarcane, and this one does. Kōloa Kaua‘i Hawaiian White Rum is made on Kauaʻi from pure cane sugar, twice distilled in a vintage 1,210-gallon steam-powered copper pot still in Kalaheo, and cut with filtered water from Mount Waiʻaleʻale. It’s unaged, crystal clear, and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), and it’s the base of the Kōloa line.

The brand describes a very clean nose that opens into light pikake (the Hawaiian jasmine-like flower), white cotton candy, and Meyer lemon pith, with a hint of fresh kalamansi, an upfront cotton-candy palate, and a rich but dry raw-sugar finish with hints of marzipan and a dash of dried candied ginger. It’s a pot-still white rum, with more character than most, and it works in a daiquiri, a mojito, a Cuba Libre, or a Hawaiian rum punch, while staying clean enough to sip over ice with lime. Use it for a tiki bar, a summer party, or a gift for anyone who has been to Kauaʻi. It’s distilled, blended, and bottled on the island.
