Kapena Li Hing Infused Tequila
Kapena was founded in 2016 by Mike Goto, a West Coast entrepreneur with family roots on Hawaii's Big Island; the name is an adopted Hawaiian word for captain. The tequila is made at NOM 1468 in Jalisco's Los Altos from 100% blue Weber agave, brick-oven cooked, roller milled, fermented with champagne yeast, and double distilled in pot stills with copper coils. The Li Hing expression made the brand: Goto and friends from Hawaii started it in college, improving the cheap tequila they could afford by dropping li hing mui, the salty, sweet, and sour dried plum powder beloved across the islands, into the bottle. Kapena turned that trick into the world's first premium li hing-infused tequila, and Goto sources the li hing mui in Hawaii. It is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). The flavor is salty-sweet and tangy, with the dried plum layered over the agave; it shines in cocktails more than neat. It won a gold medal at the 2018 Global Spirits Awards in Las Vegas, where it was the only infused tequila to take an award in the tequila category. Rim a glass with li hing powder for a margarita, or mix it with pineapple and lime.
