    How does this rum taste?

    • Rich vanilla presence
    • Great for mixing
    • Smooth flavor profile

    Koloa Kaua‘i Dark Rum, produced by the Koloa Rum Company in the USA, is crafted from molasses and distilled in a pot still with a 40% ABV. This dark rum is characterized by a warmly aromatic profile featuring dominant vanilla, chocolate, and citrus notes, followed by hints of brown sugar and caramel. It is well-received for mixing in cocktails or enjoyed over ice. While praised for its rich vanilla and chocolate flavors, some find it excessively sweet, resembling a "bottled cocktail." Ideal for those with a sweet tooth or beginners exploring rum, it’s often enjoyed with mixers like Coke or pineapple juice. Priced around $35, it offers an accessible introduction to flavored rums.

    "Very sweet, respectively, too sweet for a distillate, which was created only by storage in the (dry) barrel. Taste okay, although of course very sugary and therefore rather to be considered as a "bottled cocktail"."

    "Banana on the nose, while the taste is more like dark chocolate. Feels like it can make good old fashion with chocolate bitters. Average with pinneaple juice."

    "I am a novice and, through a recommendation, decided to start with this rum. It has nice vanilla overtones which I enjoy mixed with Coke Zero. At around $35, it is my current go-to as I branch out and try other types of rum."
