KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY Shifting Some Whiskey Production to Hand Sanitizer for First Responders

​(Honolulu, Hawai‘i, March 19, 2019) – Oahu-based KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY (makers of Old Pali Road Whiskey) made the decision to shift production to begin supplying hand sanitizer for critical services. KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY has the capability to legally distill alcohol and will shift production towards producing the base for hand sanitizer that will be provided free of charge to first responders, health workers, and essential civil service personnel.  
  
“We realized yesterday that we are in the unique position to be able to help our community in this way; we are able to both make Old Pali Road whiskey AND produce hand sanitizer that meets WHO standards so that we can help our greater ‘ohana through this unprecedented situation,” KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY CEO Eric Dill said.  

Dill anticipates providing a product as early as March 25, 2020. Kōkua Sun Care has also stepped up to assist with the initiative by donating empty bottles for some of the sanitizer.

“We are proud to see our local businesses stepping up to protect the community. Adding the production of hand sanitizer to KO'OLAU's operations is the right thing to do,” said Lieutenant Governor Josh Green. 

 
KO‘OLAU DISTILLERY is based in Kailua, Hawaii where they produce a Old Pali Road, a high-quality whiskey that has been rated one of the 15 best craft whiskeys under $60 in America.

Chef Mavro: From Eponymous Restaurant to Legacy Brand

Hawaii Regional Cuisine (HRC), as a movement, is 28 years old.  The programs of the founding members have taken different forms over the years.  Chef Mavro(thalassitis) has focused on one fine dining restaurant and has become a fixture on the Gayot Top 40 and AAA Five Diamond list.  Roy’s Restaurants has expanded to multiple states. Merriman’s has become part of the Handcrafted Restaurants and has opened a multitude of locations under the Monkeypod brand.  Alan Wong’s has had various locations open and close with the original King Street restaurant being the only one in current operation. As the movement approaches thirty, the next iteration of the movement will bring new changes as founding members start to retire.   When they do, the next question becomes: “What do I do with my successful business?” In 2019, Chef George Mavrothalassitis’ response to that question was to retire and sell the entirety of the business to his Executive Chef, Jeremy Shigekane.
