It may have been made by Hawaiian Distillers and they made several other products. Hawaiian Distillers, Inc., a Hawaiian Corporation, had been in business for more than forty years. Before 1980 it was mainly manufacturing tourist items, including ceramics and specialty Polynesian Liqueurs. It seems that they have been out of business and sold several times since the 80's. "Hana Bay Rum" is not made in Hana but by "Hawaiian Distillers" in California. According to locals, it was originally distilled in Maui but went bankrupt and when the brand was purchased production was moved to the mainland. It seems like smaller companies with good products get gobbled up or destroyed by the big guys in that business. Some of their other products found as well: Their website is dead but registered to and for sale by: Domain Name: HAWAIIANDISTILLERS.COM |
