Hi. Just joined and saw your note about Okolehao. I am with Sandwich Islands Distilling Company in Maui. We are just starting up production of our brand -- Nine Islands Okolehao. Should be in the market around this summer in Hawaii. I'd be happy to answer any questions about Okolehao.

Nine Islands Okolehao is not like the old product you show pictured. That was a cordial - very sweet -- sort of like Southern Comfort - nothing like REAL Oke.

Nine Islands is based on actual recipes we got from people in Hawaii who had made it as moonshine. It's key ingredient is the root of the Ti plant, which is fermented with other ingredients to make a real 80 proof spirit. Tastes a little like tequila and rum, with hints of sake and pineapple. Truly unique and great for sipping, shooting, or mixing.

I'll let you know when we start rolling it out.
