Hawaii’s award-winning craft rum distiller, Koloa Rum Co., and its distribution partner Republic National Distributing Co. (RNDC), are expanding in the U.S. from 12 to 20 states. “The Spirit of Aloha” will now be available in Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Maryland and Washington D.C.
Varying by state, RNDC will distribute Koloa Rum’s eight premium rum products. This includes Kauai White, Gold, Dark, Spice, Coconut, Cacao, Coffee Rum, and a five-year, Kauai Reserved Single-Barrel Aged Rum; as well as ready-to-drink cocktails.
Capturing the essence of “The Garden Isle,” Koloa Rum produces single-batch rums that are known for smoothness and remarkably rich flavors. Available in a variety of sizes, each batch is distilled, blended and bottled in Kalaheo, Kauai, with Koloa Rum using pure cane sugar and pristine rainwater from Mount Waialeale.
“In 2024, Koloa Rum has expanded its market reach to an additional 12 states due to the extraordinary demand for our Hawaiian-inspired products from our loyal fanbase,” said Bob Gunter, president and CEO of Koloa Rum Co. “RNDC has been exceptional to work with over the years and, with their ongoing support, we’re confident that we will continue to grow and meet the increasing demand of our rum across the United States mainland.”
In addition to the RNDC market distribution, Koloa Rum has also opened distribution in Arkansas with Moon Distributors; Massachusetts with Main Street Wine; and Tennessee with Best Brands Incorporated. This brings the total distribution of Koloa Rum products to 36 states, and Washington D.C.
