Island Distillers Original Liqueur is a revival of Okolehao (oh-ko-lay-how), Hawaii's legendary ancient spirit with roots dating back to 1790. Handcrafted at Island Distillers in Honolulu, Hawaii, this 100-proof (50% ABV) unaged spirit is made from a blend of sugarcane and ti root — the same sacred plant that held deep cultural significance in native Hawaiian society, historically reserved for ceremonies, celebrations, and offerings to the gods.

The distillers have recreated what they believe to be the original Okolehao: a high-proof, unaged spirit of ti root and sugarcane with a light, clean flavor and no overpowering sweetness or heavy aromas. The result is surprisingly smooth for a 100-proof spirit, with a gentle character that makes it highly mixable. It can be used as a direct substitute for rum or whiskey in virtually any cocktail, adding a distinctly Hawaiian touch to your favorite drinks.

Each 750ml bottle brings a piece of Hawaiian history home, supporting a small, passionate distillery committed to preserving and celebrating the islands' cultural heritage.
