I don't typically drink much rum, but this is quite decent. It's somewhat difficult to distinguish from an average bourbon until the finish, where the rum's sweetness comes through slightly. I was expecting more flavor from a rum, especially after sampling their dark rum. It's not bad, but not good enough for me to purchase a bottle.

Koloa has done it again with this excellent offering. I expected a bit more on the palate, but it's exceedingly smooth and approachable.
Another quality Koloa rum. I expected a bit more on the palate, but it's very smooth.
Smooth. Vanilla. Reminiscent of Bourbon.
