The KoHana “Koho” Barrel-Aged Hawaiian Agricole Rum is a rich and artfully matured agricole-style rum that elegantly fuses Hawaii’s native sugar cane terroir with oak barrel character. At 45% ABV, it presents a harmonious medley of caramel, warm vanilla, spice, and herbal complexity—balanced, layered, and captivating.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
Crafted by Manulele Distillers in Oʻahu, Hawaii, Koho is distilled from native Hawaiian sugar cane—a nod to the region’s heritage and the distillery’s farm-to-bottle ethos.
-
This expression is a barrel-select agricole rum aged in American oak—typically made from the Kō Kea varietal—and bottled at a robust 90 proof (45% ABV).
Aromatics (Nose)
-
The nose is oak-forward, with prominent notes of cedar, dusty oak, pine, and a coastal hint of brininess.
-
Fruit emerges in the form of citrus peel, berries, and a subtle buttery warmth that rounds it out.
Palate & Texture
-
On the palate, there’s a compelling interplay: wood and fruit vie for dominance before yielding to a pleasant woody bitterness.
-
Expect prominent herbs and spices—anise, cinnamon, black pepper, with intriguing hints of sage.
Finish
-
A long, lingering finish delivers sustained wood tones with echoes of licorice, along with refined nuances of leather and tobacco.
