Kula Organic Rum

Kula Organic Rum. Kula Distillery, Maui, Hawai'i — USDA Certified Organic, naturally gluten-free Hawaiian rum distilled from high-quality organic cane sugar and deep ocean mineral water drawn from 3,000 feet beneath the Pacific off the coast of Maui.

Kula Distillery takes its name from the fertile upland region of Maui — Kula, on the slopes of Haleakalā — a growing area famous for its exceptional produce and volcanic soil. The distillery brings this agricultural philosophy to rum: USDA Certified Organic production using only high-quality organic cane sugar and deep ocean mineral water, sourced from 3,000 feet beneath the Pacific Ocean off the Kona coast. Deep ocean water is extraordinarily pure and mineral-rich, filtered by centuries of slow movement through volcanic strata, and it brings a distinctive mineral quality to the spirits made with it.

The Kula Organic Rum is the foundation expression of the distillery — a clean, approachable rum designed for versatile cocktail use or sipping, with the USDA Organic certification guaranteeing that no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers touched the sugarcane at any stage of production. Naturally gluten-free. The result is a Hawaiian rum that delivers genuine tropical character alongside the clean, pure quality that deep ocean water and organic production can achieve.
