Ko’olau Distillery Old Pali Road Whiskey Reviews

 

Review: Ko’olau Distillery Old Pali Road Whiskey

It’s a lightly-hued whiskey, with a nose to match. A bit doughy and heavy with notes of cereal and buttered popcorn, the whiskey offers aromas of roasted peanuts, caramel corn, and a modest dusting of spice. It’s light and youthful, coming across largely like a young yet indistinct bourbon that still has a bit of raw heat to it.  The palate follows in close lockstep, offering a simple, peanut-laden sweetness that slowly fades into notes of brown butter and Bit-O-Honey candies. It’s sweeter than I was expecting, which helps cut through some of the more immature alcohol notes, though that pinch of sugar doesn’t overly elevate the experience beyond the basics. The whiskey ends up concluding with a simplicity that doubles down on peanut notes but finishes fairly clean — enough so to make me dream of a pina colada, frankly.   Read Full Review

Warm, sweet, smooth, mellow

Light but very heavy grassy notes

Almost like a light whiskey in appearance, vanilla on the nose. Very easy drinking neat.

Light bodied, smooth. Vanilla. Caramel. Hits the mid tongue nicely.

AMAZING PLACE 👏 YUMMY WHISKEY, this new Hawaiian Whiskey, Veteran owned, distillery was so cool to stop by. We didn't do a tour, however, we were still able to do a tasting (free) and ask the staff plenty of questions. $1 off if you follow them on IG.

Great tour very informative. The whisky is very smooth and you can tell that they take great care in their products. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this small distillery.
