DISTILLING WITH RAW LOCAL HAWAIIAN HONEY:
OUR KEY INGREDIENT

At 12th Hawaii Distiller, we harness nature by using pure, raw Hawaiian honey when distilling. Honey is the heart and soul of our process, and it takes about 2.5 lbs of honey to create a bottle of our premium spirits. Although they are distilled with honey, our spirits are not sweet seeing as the fermentation process removes most of the sweetness. Honey is our key ingredient that creates the exceptional flavor and aromatic complexity that is unique to every bottle we produce. We source our honey from a local beekeeper that resides right here on the Big Island. We know our beekeeper personally and are proud that he harvests our honey with the utmost care and without using chemicals or pesticides.

GIVING BACK

Honey is the natural product made from bees—one of our planet’s most important animals. Bees are essential in the natural pollination process and in the overall health of our environment, our ecosystem, and our farms. They are a critical resource that must be protected. Here at 12th Hawaii Distiller, we are committed to saving this invaluable animal and are proud to support organizations dedicated to the eco-essential bee.
