Behind our Barrel-Aged Classics
Our collaboration with Kō Hana Rum Distillery brings together two like-minded Hawaii businesses, where our most important ingredients of honey from flowers and sugarcane come directly from the land, our 'āina. By repurposing American-Oak barrels that were previously used to age one of the Hawaii's finest agricole rums, we avoid letting these barrels go to waste. They are emptied and refilled with our Hawaiian honey and mead to create brand new flavors.
The combination of the nutty and floral notes of our honey blend beautifully with the rum's essence and the oak from the barrels. The result is a harmonious fusion from a successful cross-pollination partnership, creating honey and mead unlike any other.
"Pō" in Hawaiian means long night or darkness. For us, this represents the time this mead lay waiting in darkness for over a year, resulting in our signature take on traditional mead.
Honey forward and surprisingly smooth with notes of dried orange & wood, this award winning mead is full of nostalgia and memoir. A classic pairing with late night cigars and old stories and its very own Pō playlist

Our honey is aged within Kō Hana Rum barrels, creating a classic honey infusion that's gentle & intricate, with subtle earthiness & wisps of rum. What does it pair well with? Well... dare we say... everything?
What an inspiring collaboration—it's wonderful to see two local Hawaiian businesses coming together in such a creative way. Repurposing rum barrels for aging mead is a brilliant example of sustainability and craftsmanship. The way you described the fusion of honey and rum notes makes me curious to try it myself! It reminds me of how in Bitlife , creative choices often lead to unique results—just like your barrel-aged classics.
What a fantastic blend of tradition, sustainability, and local craftsmanship! The story behind the Barrel-Aged Classics is just as rich as the flavors quordle puzzles themselves. I love how you’ve honored the land by repurposing the rum barrels—turning what could’ve been waste into something truly special. Pō sounds like a deep, soulful experience in a bottle—aged in darkness, yet full of warmth and memory. Can’t wait to try it alongside that playlist and a good story or two. Mālama ʻāina in the most delicious way!
What a beautiful tribute to both craft and culture! The collaboration between Manoa Honey & Mead and Kō Hana Rum Distillery truly mapquest driving directions honors the spirit of Hawaiʻi—where sustainability, local ingredients, and tradition come together. The concept of Pō aging in darkness, slowly absorbing the essence of oak and rum, adds such rich storytelling to every bottle. A mead that carries both flavor and feeling—definitely one for slow sips, deep talks, and timeless memories. 🌺🥃🐝
The checkpoint system in moto x3m is perfectly designed. It helps keep the gameplay addictive by allowing quick restarts without breaking the pace.
The Stussy 8 Ball Jacket brings iconic retro energy with a fresh twist. The 8 Ball design is bold and instantly recognizable, making it perfect for streetwear lovers. It’s warm, durable, and stylish without being over the top. Got mine from Stussy Jacket—highly recommend.
