I tried this along with the KOHO rum, and I found the KOHO to be better IMHO.

This is somewhat hot at 61.6%abv, which is fine, but it doesn't have the sweetness of the KOHO rum.

It's a bit dry for me. Not bad, but if you only try one rum from Ko Hana, try their KOHO, which a great agricole.

Smells and tastes of spice, sugar cane, oak, and honey. Again, just a bit dry and over-spiced for my personal liking.

Nice color. Almost no nose. Tastes VERY young. Not smooth. Hot and heavy. A little rough. Good Agricole characteristics. Earthy, slightly sweet but thin and with a short harsh finish. The epitome of mediocrity. Needs more curation. More care. More time in the barrel.

After doing the tour in Honolulu, we were presented the new barrels they aged this rum in, and they were GORGEOUS. The red wood adds to the beautiful color of the rum and adds very interesting funk and spice like flavors to its profile. It is on the pricey side due to it only having apecific barrels to age in. Although, If you ever have a chance to try this agricole, do not pass the opportunity

Koa means "warrior." The same aging regimen as the Koho, bottled at barrel strength: 61.6% ABV. More power, and more funk. Fantastic.

As a colleague jokingly said, "So this is the same as Koho... why do you put water in it?" But these rums really do shine at 45% and above, so it's a shame the white ones are generally only bottled at 40. Hopefully that will change.

They make about one barrel a quarter

9-, 8+
