Kula Distillery, Maui, Hawai'i — distilled and blended specifically for the classic Hawaiian Mai Tai, bottled at 95 proof so it floats perfectly on top of the cocktail while bringing serious Maui-made dark rum flavor: molasses, oak, and hints of dark caramel from deep ocean mineral water and organic cane sugar.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eKula Distillery was built around a simple but ambitious idea: make genuinely Hawaiian rum that respects the islands' cocktail tradition. The Dark Rum is the most intentional expression in that vision — designed from the beginning with the classic Hawaiian Mai Tai float in mind. At 95 proof, it has the density and proof needed to sit on top of a Mai Tai rather than sinking into the ice, while bringing enough flavor to register clearly through the almond orgeat, orange liqueur, and citrus that make up the rest of the drink.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLike all Kula expressions, the Dark Rum is made from organic cane sugar and deep ocean mineral water drawn from 3,000 feet beneath the Pacific off the Kona coast. The dark color comes from natural aging and caramel character rather than added caramel coloring. The result is a high-proof Hawaiian dark rum that performs as a float, works in cocktails, and holds its own for a daring neat pour.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark and rich — molasses, oak, and hints of dark caramel.
