Kōloa Rum Company Expands Distribution in California

Kōloa Rum Company, renowned for its premium Hawaiian rums, has recently announced a strategic partnership with Reyes Beverage Group (RBG) to enhance its distribution network in California. This initiative marks a significant shift following the news that RNDC, the previous distributor, would no longer operate in the state. The change is aimed at bolstering the brand's presence in a market critical to its growth.

Bob Gunter, President and CEO of Kōloa Rum Company, shared his enthusiasm about this new collaboration: "California has always been a vital market for Kōloa Rum, and this transition ensures we can continue building momentum in the state. We’re pleased to partner with Reyes Beverage Group, whose strong presence and proven capabilities in the market will support our continued growth. We remain grateful to RNDC for their longstanding partnership and look forward to continuing our relationship with them in other markets."

The timing of this new partnership is ideal, coinciding with the company's recent launch of exciting new products: Kōloa Kaua'i Cane Fire Hot Cinnamon Flavored Hawaiian Rum and Kōloa Kaua'i Single-Batch Aged Rum. Founded in 2009, Kōloa Rum Company takes pride in its rich agricultural heritage and is dedicated to producing handcrafted rums utilizing cane sugar and pristine rainwater sourced from the sacred Mount Waiʻaleʻale. All of their rums are distilled, blended, and bottled on site in Kalaheo, Kaua'i, maintaining a commitment to quality and sustainability.

Kōloa Rum Company’s portfolio includes an array of distinctive rums: White, Gold, Dark, Spice, Coconut, Cacao, Coffee, Aged, and now, the Cane Fire Hot Cinnamon Rum. Each variety reflects the unique flavors of the Hawaiian islands, celebrated for their smoothness and character.

With products now available in 36 states and select international markets, Kōloa Rum Company stands out as the first licensed distillery on the island of Kaua'i since the end of Prohibition. Their dedication to quality and the authentic use of Hawaiian ingredients and culture has earned them numerous accolades and a loyal customer base.
