Rum Barrel Aged Kauai Coffee Receives 92-Point Score from Coffee Review
How It's Made
100% Kauai Coffee is aged in rum barrels sourced from our friends and island neighbors at Koloa Rum. The aging process gives our delicious Kauai-grown beans a unique and delicate flavor profile that is complex and bright with flavor notes of rum, cocoa, floral honey, dried berries, and oak. "Both companies are known for producing products of the finest quality and for the great pride we take in our work," said Fred Cowell, General Manager, Kauai Coffee Company. "This partnership showcases our passion for coffee and theirs for rum and brings together two locally grown, historically significant crops in perfect combination," he said. "We think our customers will thoroughly enjoy this delicious tasting and distinctive creation.
Coffee Review
Kauai Coffee Company Rum Barrel Aged Kauai Coffee Review Date: December 2020 Read the complete assessment on the Coffee Review website Blind Assessment: Deep-toned, sweetly fermenty. Oak barrel, chocolate fudge, raspberry, freesia-like flowers, a hint of rum in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with gentle, round acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Chocolaty, oak-toned finish with rum undertones. Notes: Kauai Coffee, Hawaii's largest coffee producer, operates a popular visitor center and tasting room on its farm on the south coast of the Hawaiian island of Kauai. This entirely estate-grown coffee was aged in charred rum barrels after processing by the washed method. Visit www.kauaicoffee.com for more information. The Bottom Line: A nicely balanced barrel-aged coffee from Kauai driven by chocolate, fruit, and floral suggestions.About Coffee Review
