{"title":"Kula","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKula Rum comes from Hawaii Sea Spirits, an 80-acre certified organic farm in Kula, upcountry Maui — the same operation behind Ocean Organic Vodka. Nearly everything about the rum is local: sugarcane grown on the acreage surrounding the distillery, fermented from fresh cane juice, distilled on-site in column stills whose stacks are visible right through the roof of the building, then blended down with deep ocean mineral water drawn from 3,000 feet below the Pacific just off the Maui coast. The brand was formerly sold as Deep Island Rum and was available only in Hawaii for years before reaching the mainland. The lineup covers three expressions, each built for a different job: the unaged Organic Rum at 80 proof, gluten-free and made for daiquiris and clean tropical mixing; the Toasted Coconut, infused with natural caramelized coconut sugars at 35% ABV, aimed squarely at Piña Coladas and frozen drinks; and the Dark Rum at 95 proof, engineered specifically to float on top of a classic Hawaiian Mai Tai thanks to its higher density. These are honest, affordable, island-made mixing rums rather than contemplative sippers — and in a Mai Tai made properly, that's exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Kula collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kula-dark-rum","title":"Kula Dark Rum","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKula Dark was designed for exactly one purpose, and it's an unusual one: floating on a Mai Tai. Hawaii Sea Spirits distills it on their 80-acre organic farm in Kula, upcountry Maui, from estate-grown cane, then blends it with deep ocean mineral water drawn from 3,000 feet below the Pacific — and bottles it at 95 proof specifically because higher-ABV spirits are denser and will sit on top of a layered cocktail rather than sinking into it. That float is the whole point of a proper Hawaiian Mai Tai: dark rum flavor arrives in the first sip, cutting through the orgeat, orange liqueur, and citrus underneath. Expect molasses, oak, and dark caramel on the nose, with bold molasses and caramel sweetness on the palate and a warm finish. Worth knowing: caramel color is added, and community reviewers consistently describe it as young and straightforward rather than complex — several note it's rather strong taken neat but works well over ice or mixed. Take it for what it is: an affordable, high-proof, Maui-made mixing rum built for tiki drinks by people who understand the tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Kula Dark Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39942776357020,"sku":"C0004022L","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/KulaDark.jpg?v=1621459693"},{"product_id":"kula-toasted-coconut-flavored-rum","title":"Kula Toasted Coconut Rum","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKula comes from Hawaii Sea Spirits, which operates on an 80-acre organic farm in Kula, upcountry Maui — the same distillery behind Ocean Organic Vodka. They grow their own sugarcane on the surrounding acreage, ferment the fresh juice, and distill it in column stills, then proof it down using deep ocean mineral water drawn from 3,000 feet below sea level. This expression uses the organic Kula rum as its base, infused with natural caramelized coconut sugars and bottled at 35% ABV, pouring a golden caramel color. Expect fresh toasted coconut flake, vanilla, and burnt sugar on the nose, with caramel emerging as it sits, opening into sweet macaroon and coconut cream character with brown sugar and lime zest on the finish. Worth being straight with you: reception among serious rum reviewers is mixed at best — Got Rum's Paul Senft found the mouthfeel thin and the finish disappointing, while others enjoy it as an unpretentious, un-artificial coconut rum at a fair price. This is a mixer first: it shines in Piña Coladas, Painkillers, and frozen tropical drinks, and works well simply over soda and ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Kula Toasted Coconut Flavored Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40068046651548,"sku":"C0004158L","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/KulaCoconut.jpg?v=1622772579"}],"url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/collections\/kula.oembed","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
