Koloa Rum (short review)

Post by Badfellow »

A couple of friends recently got back from a second honeymoon in Hawaii. In addition to bringing back the best Macadamia nuts I've ever tasted, they were also kind enough to tote with two bottles of Koloa Rum. We summarily hauled both bottles up north to our annual Canadian Border Cabin Trip/Wild Blueberry Harvest Extravaganza where we made killer Mai Tai with the light rum, and drank the dark rum lakeside and neat in the finest nautical tradition.

All I can say for the flavor, it is distinctly Hawaiian. That is to say, it doesn't taste Caribbean or Central American, but rather tastes of its own distinct geography (or as the French call it terroir). Owe it to the plantation produced sugar cane growing in tropic, volcanic-soiled nirvana. I believe that either Beachcomber Don or Trader Vic would have been pleased to add Koloa to their cocktail arsenal.

Availability: unknown, although no doubt available on-line.

I'm really interested to taste the regional difference. Never heard of rum from hawaii. I think I'll wait for the dollar to plummet so I can buy it cheaper with some Euros or Rupees.
