Kula Toasted Coconut

picked this up in Hawaii in part because my wife fell in love with the packaging. as coconut rum goes this was one of my favorites to date. not overly sweet and didn't taste artificial. Hard to ignore the price also.

The coconut flavor is there, but it’s light. No one would ever think of this or possibly agree, but it’s better if you add captain………………………..

You could possibly drink this straight but if you don’t know what you’re getting yourself in to, you could be let down. Once again, I wanna disclose that I did not pay for this…………

This rum was hotter than I expected and had an aftertaste that made me think it could really set something large on fire. These are not attributes one seeks in a coconut rum.

In Hawaii again. Tried 3 Kula offerings. This is the best of the 3. It doesn’t start well. The nose is not inviting. But the rum is ok. Thin and young but with one of the better coconut flavors out there. It would make a nice Pina colada if you are into that kind of thing.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 5/31/21. Pours clear. Aroma of Coppertone suntan oil. As promised- toasted coconut aroma. Bad palate- hard. Not sweet at all and the artificial coconut flavor is the standard here. The aroma is the best feature.

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.

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
