Give the Gift of Aloha Spirit
Not everyone can afford a Hawaiian vacation. Kō Hana Distillers brings the taste of the islands to your home — perfect for the rum lover on your list.
Visitors to the distillery on O‘ahu can enjoy rum tastings or flights, along with walking through the sugarcane fields on a tour. While nothing replaces being there, Kō Hana found a way to bring tastings to rum lovers around the country.
The ‘Ohana Rum Club allows you to recreate the Hawaiian tropics in the comfort of your home during the holiday season (or any season). As a member, you receive three of the latest bottles of Kō Hana’s Hawaiian Agricole Rum every quarter, totaling to 12 bottles per year.
Each box contains an unaged (KEA), barrel-aged (KOHO) and cask-strength (KILA) rum — all distilled from native Hawaiian sugar cane — for you to taste. The KEA rum is a clear spirit with notes of tropical fruit, fresh cream and butterscotch. Rested in oak barrels, KOHO has flavors of vanilla, honey and warm spices that create a delightful aroma of caramel and hints of cinnamon. KILA is the connoisseur’s ultimate choice that is meant to be enjoyed neat. Bottled at full cask strength, the amber rum’s proof varies and is handwritten on the label.
‘Ohana Rum Club members also get extra benefits with their at-home tropical vacation. Enjoy exclusive discounts, early access to limited releases and free tours and tastings at the distillery.
