Description:
Proprietary branding for what was once a generic Hawaiian folk spirit, traditionally a distillate of ti root, which produces a simlilar quantity and quality of sugar syrup to the better-known sugar cane. Current versions are essentially an American whiskey liqueur sweetened by ti sugar extract.
