Kōloa Rum Co. launches the brand’s third aged rum release, single-barrel Kōloa Kaua’i Reserve Five-Year Aged Hawaiian Rum. It’s bottled at cask strength.
“We released our first aged rum in 2018 following more than five years of research and experimentation to develop the protocols necessary to properly age rum in Hawai’i’s tropical environment,” said Kōloa Rum President and CEO Bob Gunter. “As Kōloa Rum Co. comes of age, so does our rum! Our Reserve Aged releases have quickly become some of our most sought after and coveted offerings, and this extraordinary five-year aged variation is no exception.”
The initial release consists of five individual barrels that have been aged for a minimum of five years. Each single-barrel batch yields approximately 210 bottles, which are carefully inspected and numbered to ensure quality. Bottled at cask-strength, from 110-124 proof depending on the barrel, Kōloa Kaua’i Reserve Five-Year Aged Hawaiian Rum is available for an MSRP of $99.95. Additional barrels are scheduled to be released in April 2021.
