Distilled, blended and bottled by Koloa Rum Company Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii
80 Proof.
Koloa Dark Rum is made from the mash of raw Cane Sugar, distilled in an impressive vintage 1210 gallon steam powered copper pot still and cut with filtered water from the ancient Mount Waialeale.
The Rum is distilled 2 times at 160 – 180 ABV.
Appearance: This Dark Rum is a Genuinely Deep Chocolate Brown that rolls with a cloying viscosity around the glass, developing into thick slowly rolling light black coffee colored legs.
Nose: Koloa Dark Rum has a robustly vanilla nose that envelope the perimeter of the glass, upon further and closer whiffs of this aromatic vanilla behemoth, subtler notes of dark semi-sweet chocolate, fresh brewed espresso and chocolate cupcakes arrive to round out the olfactory experience.

Koloa Kauai Spice Rum...$29.99
Distilled, blended and bottled by Koloa Rum Company Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii
44% ABV/88 Proof.
Koloa Spice Rum is made from the mash of raw Cane Sugar, distilled in an impressive vintage 1210 gallon steam powered copper pot still and cut with filtered water from the ancient Mount Waialeale.
The Rum is distilled 2 times at 160 – 180 ABV.
Appearance: This spice rum is a majestic tawny color with hues of golden rich heather, much lighter in the cloying viscosity then the other expressions of Koloa Rums, probably due to the higher ABV. at 44%. The legs are thin and evenly expressed around the glass.
Nose: Pleasantly presenting with the first light sniff with light cola, muted cinnamon and cacao leading into subsequent passes across the nose that tickle the olfactory with baked baklava, honey and freshly chopped walnuts…
Taste and Finish: This spice rum is dry and crisp on the palate, with up front spices showing exactly like the nose, with the additional flavors of deeply cooked caramel and a light finish of sarsaparilla.
Additional Tasting Notes:
Koloa Kauai Spice Rum is an adult’s version to the classic overly sweetened spice rums typically found in the market. We recommend trying it in a classic rum swizzle or to enjoy this in your everyday spice rum and coke…



Koloa Kauai Coconut Rum...$29.99
Distilled, blended and bottled by Koloa Rum Company Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii
40% ABV/80 Proof.
Koloa Coconut Rum is made from the mash of raw Cane Sugar, distilled in an impressive vintage 1210 gallon steam powered copper pot still and cut with filtered water from the ancient Mount Waialeale.
The Rum is distilled 2 times at 160 – 180 ABV.
Appearance: Koloa Kauai Coconut Rum presents itself as a white rum with a hint of Chantilly green opalescence, even and thick viscosity and well defined sparkling white legs.
Nose: Intense Coconut aromatics with light hints of roasted coconut and pina colada undertones…
Taste and Finish: The initial taste is quizzically dry, probably from the pleasant 80 proof that Koloa has kept the rum at, which then leads to the wonderful flavor of baby coconut flesh at the front of the palate. The spirit finishes with light toasted coconut and hints of fresh lime zest and the slightest bit of caramelized pineapple…
