Kula Toasted Coconut

Had the pleasure of touring the Hawaiian Sea Spirits distillery in Maui and got to chat up one of the owners while enjoying a sample of this flavored rum. It is flavored with real toasted coconuts grown just miles down the road - no artificial flavors here. Just fresh light rum married with local coconuts and colored with caramel. A definite heat from its youth but a fantastic mixing rum none the less. Forget about the sugar bomb, chemistry project coconut rums you are used to. Just shake with fresh pineapple juice and ice and you have an amazingly refreshing and easy drinking take on a pina colada

My go-to for a mixer, especially with a cola. Uniquely fresh relative to your standard Bacardi/Malibu coconut add.

I was surprised how much better this is than other popular coconut rums. Very nice taste, not overly sweet, light, still has flavor, almost able to sip it.

Rum tasting in Houston continued onwards with Kula Toasted Coconut. Unique bottle and label design. Golden color. Soapy coconut and plenty of unaged alcohol to your nose and palate when neat sipped. Strong but sweet burn at the end. Not even decent when mixed.
