Three Rums, Mingled
"Huihui" means mixed, mingled, united, pooled together — and the blend walks the talk. The base is a light molasses-based rum from Papua New Guinea (distilled to 90-94% ABV); the body is Kuleana's premium Hawaiian rum agricole from fresh sugarcane juice; the accent is a Martinique agricole distilled to 74% ABV. Nothing aged, nothing added — just three unaged rums from three corners of the cane world, united in Hawai'i.
Tasting Notes
Official brand notes: tropical fruits, fresh-pressed sugarcane, caramelized sugar, vanilla, key lime. Wine Enthusiast: "a clear spirit with a distinctly funky aroma. The palate embraces the funk, showing plantain, coconut and a long, fiery finish laced with white pepper, nutmeg and a tinge of vanilla."
How to Enjoy
This is a bartender's white rum: daiquiris, mojitos, and tiki drinks where its funk can stretch out. It also sips well chilled for agricole fans — serve it cool to keep the fiery finish in line.
