Sharing our love for Hawai'i and our knowledge about Hawaiian Heirloom sugarcane (kō) through rum tastings, craft cocktails and "talk story" on the Big Island ❤️ 🌴

We were thrilled to host a Kuleana Cocktail Showdown at the Hawai’i Kuauli Pacific & Asia Cultural Festival. Two Bartenders, One Cocktail!  Preston Branco from the Four Seasons Hualalai was victorious at the competition held during the Taste of Pacific & Asia event on June 9th. It was an incredible celebration of the Food & Beverage scene in Hawai'i where local chefs and bartenders came together to share their craft.

We had an amazing day at the annual Sycuan Casino Resort charity golf tournament! 

Yesterday, our community celebrated Kamehameha, the conqueror and first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. King Kamehameha the Great was born around 1736 as Pai'ea to Keku'iapoiwa II, less than two miles from our farm at Upolu Point in Kohala, on the northernmost tip of the Island of Hawai'i. Kimo Hoopai Jr. holds a banner commemorating his father, Kimo Sr., in the parade. Kimo Sr. was a highly regarded paniolo of Kahua Ranch, where our first kō (Hawaiian heirloom sugarcane) was planted. Kimo Jr. had the kuleana for our second and current farm before we acquired it, and his brother, Bernard Hoopai, honored us by accepting the kuleana for our farm after we purchased it. Bernard was responsible for planting and caring for the kō we grow to make our rum. Thank you all for being such an important part of our story, and sharing in our pride and excitement as we celebrate Hawai'i in everything we do!  Me ka mahalo piha, (with a fullness of gratitude)

Steve Jefferson, CEO of Kuleana Rum Works – "It was a real pleasure and honor to be a “Shark” for the Kohala Middle School Young Innovators Hawaii Project last night!" These keiki are our future and it’s looking BRIGHT! Smart kids, well-prepared, researched and great presenters. Huge MAHALO to all those who made this happen!

Thirteen top bartenders mixed it up in a head-to-head competition in Waikoloa recently, as part of the Kings’ Shops 2nd Annual Cocktail Contest. The winning team was Tyler Johnson and Justin Kipapa from Merriman’s Honolulu, with a cocktail they called “Hō‘ihi,” presented in a custom wooden box surrounded by flowers in a wafting mist. Hō‘ihi melded the flavors of Kuleana Nanea, Hawaiian Agricole, and Hokulei Rums, Java Plum Sherry, Banana Liqueur, Mac Nut Orgeat, Coconut, Lime, Cinnamon, and Coffee Bitters.
