Koloa Rum is a single-batch, craft distiller and bottler. We carefully and skillfully handcraft our rums from the finest sugarcane and the pure, abundant water sources of Kauai, Hawaii.
Pristine rainwater from Mount Waialeale and the nearby mountain peaks and rainforests is captured and slowly filtered through volcanic strata before finally reaching vast underground aquifers. Kauai water imparts its own unique taste and “mouth feel” that perfectly complements Koloa’s rum. This, combined with the “tall cane” sugarcane, results in our truly unique and delicious Kauai White, Gold, Dark, Spice and Coconut and Coffee Rum, as well as ready-to-drink Mai Tai, Rum Punch and Pineapple Passion products.
