Imagine the lush, green Windward side of Oahu, where the verdant Ko‘olau Range receives more rainfall than anywhere else on the island – about five million gallons a day! This life-giving rainwater is naturally filtered through layers of volcanic rock for decades, until it reaches the aquifer that feeds the pristine artesian well Ko‘olau Distillery uses for its spirits.
Ko'olau Distillery was founded in 2018 and is a disabled veteran-owned business. Just as our founders dedicated their lives in service to the country with the United States Marine Corps, earning honors and commendations — often at great sacrifice — they believe in earnest stewardship of our beautiful island home and its finite resources, giving back to the local community as well the military community.
