Kōloa Kaua‘i Hawaiian Coconut Rum

Product Description

Kōloa Kaua‘i Hawaiian Coconut Rum: A Coconut Rum That Starts Dry

Coconut rum has a reputation for being a sugary cocktail ingredient. Kōloa Kaua‘i Hawaiian Coconut Rum is built differently. It’s made on Kauaʻi from pure cane sugar, twice distilled in a vintage 1,210-gallon steam-powered copper pot still in Kalaheo, cut with filtered Mount Waiʻaleʻale water, and then flavored with coconut. It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), and the distillery says that proof is why the first sip tastes “quizzically dry.”

The brand describes a white rum with a hint of green opalescence, an intense coconut aroma with roasted coconut and piña colada undertones, a dry start that opens into baby coconut flesh, and a finish of light toasted coconut, hints of fresh lime zest, and the slightest bit of caramelized pineapple. A rum fan called it “buffed-up coconut water.” It’s the one for a piña colada, a Mai Tai, a coconut mojito, or just rum and pineapple juice over ice, and it’s clean enough to sip on its own with a lime wedge. It’s a bottle for summer, for anyone planning a Hawaii-themed party, and for a drinker who has given up on coconut rum. It’s distilled, blended, and bottled on the island.
