Wine Enthusiast Spotlights the Revival of Hawaiʻi's Heritage Spirit

We're honored to be featured by Wine Enthusiast, one of the world's leading publications covering wine, spirits, and beverage culture.

In the article, "In Hawaiʻi, a Once Banned Spirit Is Getting a Second Chance," writer Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton explores the remarkable history of ʻŌkolehao, Hawaiʻi's heritage spirit, and the growing movement to bring it back for a new generation. The story highlights the cultural significance of ʻŌkolehao, its nearly forgotten past, and the work happening at The Ola Distillery to revive authentic ʻŌkolehao made from 100% Hawaiʻi-grown kī root.

We're grateful to Wine Enthusiast for taking the time to tell this story and to shine a spotlight on Hawaiʻi's unique distilling heritage.
