Made with
Maui Grown Molasses
Molasses is a byproduct from sugar production. When sugar cane is harvested, its juice is extracted and boiled to concentrate it, promoting sugar crystallization. The result of this first boiling is called cane syrup. After the first crystallization of that syrup occurs, a sugar rich liquid called ‘A’ Molasses is centrifuged off. As a result, ‘A’ Molasses is highly shelf stable, much like honey.
In 1900, there were 130 sugar mills in operation in Hawaii. Over the next 100 years, international competition increased. Local mills gradually consolidated to remain competitive until there was just one left on Maui. HC&S sold top quality, world class sugar to local and national customers, but had few customers for their molasses. Starting in 2005, Kolani Distillers became HC&S’s first and sole ‘A’ molasses customer. When the decision to close the last mill was made, Kolani Distillers was given the opportunity to purchase the last of the mill’s molasses — enough to sustain our production for several years.
We now face the challenge to find another local source for our molasses and are exploring various options, including sourcing from local farmers or growing our own. With challenge comes growth, and we are excited to begin this new chapter in our company’s story.
Old Lahaina Rum
Our Craft
Our rum is pot stilled in two steam-fired 500 gallon “Badger” pot stills. Originally from Boston’s New England Rum Company, and dating back to 1946, there are only 11 of these stills in existence. Our base rum is distilled 9 times before being filtered through a custom filtration system, creating the smoothness Old Lahaina Rums are known for.
