Kula Toasted Coconut Flavored Rum

Kula Toasted Coconut Rum. Kula Distillery, Maui, Hawai'i — a Hawaiian coconut rum built on the same organic cane sugar and deep ocean mineral water base as Kula Organic Rum, delivering authentic toasted coconut character with background notes of vanilla, dark brown sugar, and the distinctive clean character of Pacific deep ocean water.

Kula Distillery makes all of its rums from USDA Certified Organic cane sugar and deep ocean mineral water sourced from 3,000 feet beneath the Pacific Ocean off the Kona coast — one of the purest and most mineral-rich water sources on earth. The Toasted Coconut expression takes that clean, mineral-pure rum base and layers natural toasted coconut flavor on top, with a precision that distinguishes it from the heavy sweetness of most commercial coconut rums.

Rather than the artificial, candy-like coconut common to many coconut rums, Kula Toasted Coconut is formulated to deliver what the name actually promises: the specific flavor experience of perfectly toasted fresh coconut flakes, with the caramelized sweetness and slight bitterness that toasting creates. The background notes of vanilla and dark brown sugar from the rum spirit itself add tropical complexity without overwhelming the coconut character. Just a touch of sweetness on the finish extends the experience rather than making it cloying.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Authentic toasted coconut aromatics with vanilla and dark brown sugar from the rum base. More nuanced than typical coconut rums — the toasted character is specific, not generic.
• Palate: True toasted coconut flavor — caramelized and slightly bitter from the toasting, rather than simply sweet. Background notes of vanilla and dark brown sugar from the Kula spirit base provide tropical complexity. The deep ocean mineral water purity is evident.
• Finish: Delightfully toasted fresh coconut. Just a touch of sweetness that makes the flavor linger pleasantly until the next sip.
