Ko'olau Distillery

"Completely off the path but worth the drive to the distillary. Had a small tasting and ended up with the whisky in an Manhattan. A must go if you are a fan of whisky or gin. The drive through the mountains is beautiful!"

"THE whiskey and gin distillery on Oahu, quietly settled among picturesque hills. You don't have to do the tour, but a flight might help: moonshine, whiskey, and two gins. Not a big fan of the whiskey (woodsy but young), but enjoyed the others. They also have local beer and snacks, plus plenty of gift sets/ideas. Veteran business of the year, with artwork from another popular local veteran."

"I don’t even like whiskey! This place was great. The tour is confined to one room but it is a good one! Keeps you engaged and everyone is so welcoming."

"Ko'olau Distillery has become our go-to venue, known not only for its exceptional whiskey and libations but also for its fantastic events and unique experiences held right at the Distillery itself. We had the privilege of hosting our Welcome Gathering for our wedding at this remarkable venue, offering our guests an unforgettable, and delicious, experience. Ian, Eric, and the entire crew are not only masterful in their craft but also exceptionally generous and wonderful people. They collaborated with us to create personalized etched whiskey bottles and glasses, adding a special touch to our wedding. Jane, the Events Manager, handled all the details flawlessly, and her support was truly remarkable. We wholeheartedly recommend Ko'olau Distillery at the highest level, whether you're seeking top-notch libations or planning an exceptional event."

"What a killer spot in the middle of nowhere. This little area is blowing up and this distillery is at the heart of it. The vodka here is house-made and unreal. I’m a big Tito’s guy and it puts Tito’s to shame. The environment is super chill, they have comfortable seating with a few TVs for sports as well. The employees were very helpful and great with the kiddos. I’m a big fan of any place that supports our military. Not only does that show with their decorations but I was told both owners were prior military as well. Y’all nailed this spot!"
