Ko Hana Distillers is a family-operated distillery located in Kunia Camp, Hawaii, specializing in Agricole-style rum made from heirloom Hawaiian sugarcane. The property sits at the base of the Waianae Mountains and integrates estate-grown cane with on-site distillation and barrel aging to deliver rums that reflect local terroir.
The distillery offers four main experiences: the Kō Hana Distillery Tour, Estate Farm Tour, Distillery Tour, and This Lil Piggy Plate Lunch. Each guided experience explains the history of Hawaiian sugarcane, outlines the cane-to-rum production process, and includes a guided tasting of signature Agricole rums. Visitors also have the opportunity to sample a signature rum cocktail as part of the Distillery Tour.
On-site tours highlight the sugarcane fields, the fermentation and distillation stages, and the barrel warehouse used for aging. Tours conclude with guided tastings that showcase the distinct flavors and aromas of rums produced from heirloom varieties. The plate-lunch option offers Texas-style beef brisket or a mixed plate with Hawaiian and Southern BBQ influences, prepared with locally sourced Kiawe wood for smoking.
Reservations are recommended to secure tour and tasting availability. Tours provide an educational, transparent look at craft rum production on Oʻahu, making Ko Hana Distillers a reputable stop for visitors seeking an authentic Hawaiian rum experience. Tours also highlight a 'Grass to Glass' approach, tracing every step from field harvest through distillation, aging, and guided tasting experiences.
