Hawaiian beverage brand Koloa Rum Company has launched Kauai Reserve, a rum which is aged for three years in American white oak barrels.
Crafted in single batches at its Kalaheo distillery, the beverage is made from Hawaii sugar cane. Each of Kauai Reserve’s 12-barrel batches yields approximately 3,500 bottles.
According to the brand, the release is the culmination of more than five years of intensive research and experimentation by Koloa Rum’s distillery team.
Koloa CEO Bob Gunter said: “We are thrilled to be launching our newest rum at the dawn of the new year. Kauai Reserve pours elegantly from the bottle, with a warm golden hue and a bouquet of mellow oak, orange peel and toasted vanilla.
“It’s remarkably smooth with rich, complex flavours that linger long after the last sip. Kauai Reserve is perfect to warm winter’s chill and is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.”
The beverage will be sold in California and the west coast of the US from February. It is now available in Hawaii, retailing at $49.99 per 750ml bottle.
Established in 2009, Koloa Rum Company produces artisanal, single-batch Hawaiian rum and ready-to-drink cocktails at its distillery in Kalaheo. The company’s portfolio includes its white, gold, dark, spice, coconut and coffee rums. Products are available for purchase online at select retailers nationwide, as well as in Australia, Canada, France and Japan.
