    • Distinctive tropical aromas
    • Limited edition appeal
    • Complex flavor profile

    The Koloa Kaua'i Reserve is a limited edition rum from the Koloa Rum Company, crafted in the USA. Distilled from sugar cane juice in a pot still and aged for four years, this rum makes a notable impression with its 46% ABV. Users have described it as having pronounced aromas of caramel, banana, and coconut, while the palate features flavors of coconut and spice with a touch of creaminess. Despite being well-received for its light and fruity notes reminiscent of some West Indies rums, it is also noted for a slightly overpowering alcohol presence. As a distinctive offering limited to 3500 bottles, it presents an interesting choice for those seeking a tropical-themed rum experience.

    "#4271 28.09.2023 One of the samples from the Whisky N Rum Show in Copenhagen. Well, this is a relatively cheap rum and you get what you pay for. A light and medium sweet rum with some fruity and floral notes. A bit out of balance between the elements. The empty glass has light chocolate notes."

    "round thing from Hawaii. somehow similar to West Indies Barbados rums! Could be overall just a little milder, the alcohol is unfortunately not so well integrated... And price-wise I find 55€ for a merely 4y young rum also a bit too much..."

    "Nose: a light rum, vanilla and bourbon dominateMouth: the alcohol is very present, a slight spiciness prevails here. Very mild rum without conspicuousness.Finish: here it becomes a bit more interesting again with roasted flavors and chocolate - but fades quickly again.Very balanced rum but flat and unspectacular."
