Discover why Koʻolau Distillery is Hawaii's premier distillery destination, nestled in the breathtaking foothills of the legendary Koʻolau Mountains. Join a guided tour and tasting experience to learn about the distilling process and sample a range of spirits.
Meet your guide and learn about the distillery's commitment to crafting world-class spirits using the purest volcanically filtered water, which is essential to their exceptional products. At Koʻolau, they believe that “Ola i ka wai”—water is life. This pristine Hawaiian water flows through ancient volcanic rock, enhancing the flavour and smoothness of each spirit, from the flagship Old Pali Road Whisky to the exclusive Private Reserve Bourbon.
Join a guided tour where experts walk you through every step of the distilling process: mashing, fermenting, distilling, ageing, and bottling. Learn about the expanded portfolio, which includes Kala Vodka, Tradewind Gin, Barrel-Aged Tradewind Gin, and Mahealani Moonshine.
The experience culminates in a spirits tasting session, allowing you to savour the superior quality of the handcrafted offerings. Afterwards, visit the shop to purchase limited-edition bottles, exclusive Koʻolau Distillery merchandise, and custom gifts. Enjoy custom bottle etching on-site, often available the same day, making for perfect personalised gifts.
