“The debut of Koloa Kaua’i Cacao Rum is our first flavored rum release in five years, and we are so pleased to have created this rum in collaboration with the Lydgate Farms ‘ohana,” said Koloa Rum President and CEO Bob Gunter.
“At Koloa Rum Company, everything we do is deeply rooted in our commitment to the land we call home, so we are incredibly proud to partner with our neighbors at this fifth-generation family farm.”
Koloa Kaua’i Cacao Rum is created by steeping Lydgate Farms’ roasted cacao nibs in Koloa Kaua’i Gold Rum from 9 to 18 days, depending on the batch.
During the process, the rum extracts natural flavor and color from the cacao to offer a distinctive chocolate rum with notes of rich, creamy mocha highlighted by subtle spice.
The initial batch of Koloa Kaua’i Cacao Rum is available in limited quantities, and can be purchased from retailers in Hawaii and select states across the mainland U.S.
“I could not imagine a more perfect pair than Lydgate Farms and Koloa Rum,” said Lydgate Farms CEO Will Lydgate.
“Not only do we share the same values in regard to being stewards of the land and culture here on Kaua’i, but we also share a passion for quality, flavor, and local agriculture that is evident in both of these new products. Chocolate and rum – a match made in paradise, grown on Kaua’i.”
