Kō Hana Distillers

You've heard of farm-to-table cuisine. A visit to Kō Hana Distillers on Oahu, gives you a chance to try farm-to-table liquor. This homegrown distillery brings together the island's most cherished ingredients from local farmers to create unique, single-varietal Agricole rum.

Kō Hana's Rum Tasting Tour, offered hourly throughout the day, begins with a shot of raw, freshly pressed sugarcane juice. Tour guides then take you through the fermentation and distillation process, sharing their knowledge of Agricole rum and sugarcane's royal history in Hawaii.

The tour highlights Kō Hana's sugarcane crops, where the guide showcases the different varietals used in the rum, some of which can only be found in Hawaii. Then the tour makes its way to the heart of the distillery, the barrel room, where rows of reclaimed koa wood barrels line the walls.

The tour culminates in the tasting room, an intimate space where you're invited to sample the distillery's finest rums and mixed drinks. We recommend opting for Kō Hana's specialty tasting menu, a sampling that showcases the distiller's reserve selection of small-batch, single-varietal spirits.
