Kōloa Kauaʻi Gold is a Hawaiian rum distilled, blended and bottled by Kōloa Rum Company in Kalaheo, Kauaʻi, from pure cane sugar, and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
It is distilled twice in a vintage 1,210-gallon, steam-powered copper pot still and cut with filtered water from the ancient Mount Waiʻaleʻale. This soft, candy-like gold rum presents itself boldly, with no pretenses other than being a good-tasting gold rum.
Vibrant golden in the glass with a surprisingly deep viscosity, it opens with rich caramel and butter toffee, then honey, orange and banana. The mouthfeel is viscous, with an upfront caramel blast that finishes with vanilla, light macadamia nut brittle and toasted almond.
A sunny bottle for tropical drinks and island-style gifts.
