Kōloa Rum Company is a beverage producer based in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii, specializing in single-batch rum distilled in a vintage copper-pot still from locally sourced cane sugar and mountain rainwater. The business ties its products to Kauai’s sugar and rum heritage, with Hawaii’s sugar industry beginning in Kōloa in the 1830s and rum production dating to about 1837; its first batch was distilled and bottled in September 2009 alongside the opening of its Tasting Room and Company Store at Kilohana Plantation. It holds the distinction of being the first and only licensed distillery on Kauai. Targeting consumers of award-winning island-inspired spirits and specialty retailers, the company has pursued distribution expansion, including a 2025 partnership with Reyes Beverage Group to reach California. Based in Hawaii, Kōloa Rum continues to emphasize its local sourcing and heritage as it grows its presence beyond Kauai.
