Koloa Rum Company Koloa Kaua'i Reserve
Sip it neat and you get a light, cane-juice rum from Hawaii: coconut, banana, vanilla and a bourbon-cask edge, with a lightly grassy, gently sweet core. The catch several tasters flag is the alcohol isn't fully tucked in for a 4-year rum, and one describes an odd off-note. Pleasant but flat rather than memorable.
The community says- Coconut and banana
- Hot for its age
- A bit flat

Light, coconut-banana Hawaiian sipper, a touch unbalanced Most find it a light, mildly sweet cane-juice rum with coconut and banana, but call it flat and a bit out of balance, with the alcohol showing through.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4271 28.09.2023 One of the samples from the Whisky N Rum Show in Copenhagen. Well, this is a relatively cheap rum and you get what you pay for. A light and medium sweet rum with some fruity and floral notes. A bit out of balance between the elements. The empty glass has light chocolate notes.
Review by Boletus
An sich gefällt mir dieser Rum ganz gut mit seiner leichten, zuckrigen und saftig-grasigen Grundausrichtung. Auch die Eichenfässer geben eine gute Figur ab. Jedoch ist dieser Beigeschmack, der mich komischerweise an zerkaute Insekten erinnert, für mich doch ein bisschen gewöhnungsbedürftig und trübt bei mir ein wenig die Trinkfreude.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
round thing from Hawaii. somehow similar to West Indies Barbados rums! Could be overall just a little milder, the alcohol is unfortunately not so well integrated... And price-wise I find 55€ for a merely 4y young rum also a bit too much...
Review by Thunderbird
A pleasant rum with good flavors of coconut, banana and spice.... Unfortunately too diluted
Review by RumTaTa
Nose: a light rum, vanilla and bourbon dominateMouth: the alcohol is very present, a slight spiciness prevails here. Very mild rum without conspicuousness.Finish: here it becomes a bit more interesting again with roasted flavors and chocolate - but fades quickly again.Very balanced rum but flat and unspectacular.
