Kōloa Rum Company is Hawaii's most celebrated and pioneering rum distillery — and the brand that finally gave the islands the rum legacy they deserved. Founded after a seven-year battle through government red tape and bureaucracy, Kōloa received the first legal distilling license on the island of Kaua'i on April 1, 2009 — making history on an island with deep sugarcane roots stretching back to Hawaii's first sugar plantation established in Kōloa Town in 1835. Every rum in the lineup starts with the same foundation: pure Hawaiian cane sugar rather than traditional molasses, double distilled in a vintage 1,210-gallon steam-powered copper pot still originally built in Kentucky in 1947 and cut with filtered rainwater from ancient Mount Wai'ale'ale slowly filtered through volcanic strata. The result is a range of rums deeply rooted in Kauai's agricultural heritage — supporting local sustainable farming and celebrating the island's extraordinary natural resources in every bottle. From the Gold Medal Dark Rum that announced their arrival to the world, to the award-winning Coconut, the natural Spice, the extraordinary Cacao collaboration with Lydgate Farms, and the Coffee Rum crafted with the Kaua'i Coffee Company, every Kōloa expression is a genuine taste of the Garden Isle.
