Interesting facts

  • "Hana Bay Rum" is not made in Hāna but by "Hawaiian Distillers" in California. According to locals, it was originally distilled in Maui but the company went bankrupt and when the brand was purchased, production was moved to the mainland. The rum is not actually produced on the US mainland, but in the Virgin Islands. It is imported to California in bulk, then bottled in glass imported from either Mexico or China. Prior plans to bring this product back to Maui for bottling have been disrupted by the Chapter 7 bankruptcy of Sandwich Isles Distilling.

Visitors to Hana can still purchase a local rum product, however, at the venerable Hasegawa's General Store which carries the full line of Haleakala Distillers rums, including Maui Dark Rum, Maui Gold Rum, Braddah Kimo's Extreme 155 rum and Maui Platinum Rum.
  • In the March of 1768 Hawaii's future queen Kaahumanu was born in a cave not far from Hana on the island of Maui.
