Paul Turner (Waikulu Distillery)

Jason Evans of SilverShark Media speaks to Paul Turner, owner of Waikulu Distillery in Makawao.  In this podcast Paul talks about how he first came up with the idea to open a distillery, how the Maui climate is ideal for agave plants, the challenge of transforming a hobby into a business, the comparison between agave spirits and tequila, the types of spirits the distillery produces, how he started this business without any experience in the industry, what people can see on farm tours on site, how long it takes to go from harvest to bottle, how he established distribution across Maui, the origins of the business name, goals for the future, and how people can learn more about the distillery and where to find their products.
