PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
KōHana KoKoleka is a delightful fusion of Hawaiian cane spirit, honey, and cacao—delivering a silky, indulgent liqueur that’s both dessert-like and soulful. With natural sweetness and subtle chocolate depth, it’s a uniquely Hawaiian twist on rum that works beautifully as an after-dinner sip or bold cocktail ingredient.
Produced by Manulele Distillers in Kunia, Hawai‘i, KoKoleka (Hawaiian for "chocolate") is created with local Hawaiian cane spirit, organic cacao, and raw honey—all fermented, distilled, and blended in small batches.
Bottled at 60 proof (30% ABV), it sits comfortably in the liqueur category rather than a fortified spirit.
Nose: Aromas of floral honey, lush figs, and earthy dark chocolate come through with a light, tropical cane sweetness.
Palate: Think rich mocha cream, balanced by citrus brightness and gentle spice like clove. The combination of cacao and honey blends elegantly with grassy, tropical cane character.
Finish: Long, with lingering bitter cocoa and warming honey—a refined, dessert-forward exit.
