Hawaiian Okolehao│ 100 Proof

Description

Oahu’s Oldest Distillery – Island Distillers was born from the idea that excellent spirits could be made right here in Hawaii from our abundant natural resources and perfect climate.

Seated directly at the base of the historical Koko Crater, surrounded by flourishing banana trees and mature sugar cane fields you’ll find Island Distillers. The location perfectly captures the stylistic distilling approach of embracing traditional  tropical flavors, found throughout on the Hawaiian Islands.

Distillation Notes – Hawaiians discovered that if the ti root is baked, a sweet liquid migrates to the surface of the root. Chemically, the heat changes the starch in the root to a fermentable sugar. The baked root is then soaked in water which dissolves the sugar, and fermentation begins.

Tasting Notes – As a spirit unique to Hawaii, it presents a flavor of its own. Experience Hawaiian tradition; you’ll find flavors of earthy and vegetal notes, hints of banana with subtle pineapple.
