The afternoon feels like a slow exhale as you step into Koʻolau Distillery’s tasting room, canvases lined up under warm light and the Koʻolau Range pressing green and ancient against the windward windows. The artist’s voice guides a gentle rhythm: a brushstroke here, a splash of color there, while barrels and bottles sit like patient onlookers and the distillery’s spirits offer a quiet island bite.
