What a wonderful informative tour. Olivia is awesome! She took the time to thoroughly explain the distilling process and answer our questions, and she’s very funny. You can tell she loves what she does. It’s a great little place with a delicious variety of spirits. The aged gin is fabulous!!

For premium drinks, huge laughs from incredible comedians, and a super chill atmosphere, Koʻolau Distillery's comedy nights are an absolute must on Oahu. This hidden gem offers a top-notch experience at a can't-beat price.

This was a fun distillery tour. The distilling area is not big, but the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the distilling process and explaining the different steps throughout the distilling process. At the end we got to sample 5 different products of theirs and the tour guide explained the difference between the different alcohols. Only heads up would be to give yourself a little extra time getting there our Uber driver got lost. If you follow the direction they give you in the email, you’ll have no problem finding them.

Craft distillery owned and operated by vets. Great tour with a hilarious deadpan sense of humor, in depth explanation of the distillation process, and hands on bottling of your own bottle of whiskey. Followed by tastings of whiskey, moonshine, and gin.

Great experience. Learned a lot about distillery processing. My first tastes of Whiskey and Gin. Learned how to appreciate savoring my pallet. Final touch creating your own bottle.

Such an informative experience! We learned all about the science behind the spirit-making process and got to taste some samples. The gin was by far my favorite.

IN from Denver and loved this place. Had a tour with one of the founders, Ian. He thoroughly explained the process and the history of the distillery. Very good whiskey and some unique and flavorful gins as well. I can wait for their Bourbon to come out later in the year. The whole team is friendly and informative. It is a veteran owned business and they did some great work during the pandemic to supply hand sanitizer to the state. If you cant make it to the distillery, give the juice a try at a local bar. Old Pali Road Whiskey!

This was our first distillery tour , it was very informative and interesting learning about the process. We got to bottle our own whiskey and also got to sample all the other spirits that they make. We would highly recommend taking the tour

What a great experience! Justin told us about the science they currently use to make their whiskey. We were able to bottle whiskey and buy the bottle. We also met the owners. The company is mainly operated by veterans. One of a kind experience! Great to get away from the main hub bub of the city.
