“Hawaii-grown corn bourbon aged 5+ years — twice-distilled, never blended, 93 proof”
Tasting notes
- nose
- toasted oak, honey, candied walnut with quiet Hawaii-corn sweetness — not Midwestern commodity punch
- palate
- rich and balanced; honeyed oak and grain sweetness with light citrus and warm spice; never blended, cask personality intact
- finish
- smooth and long with vanilla, warmed wood, soft spice
Mash bill
Full grain split not published.
Hawaii-grown Kauai corn plus rye and barley — exact percentages unpublished. The grain story is west-side Kauai farm corn (Kaumualii and earlier Koloa/Polihale harvests) crossing the Pacific into American bourbon, not a Midwestern commodity bill; corn sweetness and clean cereal character stay front while rye and barley season without dominating.
