Kōloa Rum Co. launches of the brand’s second aged rum release, Kaua`i Reserve 12-Barrel Select Four-Year Aged Hawaiian Rum. Each 12-barrel batch yields approximately 3,500 bottles, which are carefully inspected and numbered to ensure quality.
It’s aged in American white oak barrels for a minimum of four years at the Kalaheo Distillery on the Garden Isle.
“The four-year Kōloa Kaua`i Reserve is a natural progression from our inaugural three-year aged rum that was first released in 2018, and it was definitely worth the wait,” said Kōloa Rum President/CEO Bob Gunter. “This exceptional rum is a testament to our talented distillery team who spent more than five years researching and experimenting to develop the protocols necessary to properly age rum in Hawai`i’s tropical environment.”
Kaua`i Reserve 12-Barrel Select Four-Year Aged Hawaiian Rum is bottled at 92 proof and available nationwide in limited quantities at select retailers. In Hawaii, the brand has also released a special limited edition Kaua`i Reserve Four-Year Single-Barrel Aged Rum in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Kōloa Rum Company, which is available for purchase exclusively at its Tasting Room and Company Store at Kilohana Plantation on Kaua`i .
