Hawaii’s Sweetest Holiday Gift Ideas: Ko‘olau Distillery (koolaudistillery.com) has teamed up with Mānoa Chocolate (manoachocolate.com) for the Old Pali Road Whiskey bar, a special-edition chocolate bar to whet any whiskey-lover’s appetite. Ko‘olau Distillery, which is veteran-owned, uses naturally volcanic rock-filtered, alkaline water to make its specialty Old Pali Road Whiskey. Responsibly sourced cacao nibs are soaked in Old Pali Road Whiskey-filled barrels, which results in a rich flavoring of the 70% chocolate for the perfect balance. As neighbors in Kailua, it was a natural fit for the two artisan producers to team up to create a match made in Hawai‘i, perfect for bringing a bit of Hawai‘i to any chocolate and whiskey lover.
