What is your Holy Grail of Booze that you want to buy, or at least try - Tiki Drinks and Food

I have a vintage bottle of the Okolehao that was sold to tourists in the 1970's and earlier (brandy infused with Ti root), and I can get the Maui Distillers Okolehao liqueur. But what I want is the old moonshine. Kauai had what was known as the Okolehao Trail and I asked my dad what he knew about this shine since he grew up there. I was bowled over when he casually told me, "Oh yea, the guy across the street used to make it". I wonder if anyone is still distilling batches of the stuff.
