Distillery Notes:

In 2017 Pōkeno Whisky was founded with a vision to put New Zealand on the map as a producer of single malt whisky. It is the largest single malt distillery in the country.

Today, the Pōkeno Whisky Company handles all processing on site at a state-of-the-art distillery with maturation warehouses, filtration and bottling facilities, and a fully functional cooperage.

Everything done here is driven by a goal to create one of the world’s great Single Malts. Batch production, long fermentation, and slow distillation are just a few of the things that help make them different. As craft distillers, they are also able to focus on quality over quantity and on doing things their way, not the easy way.

Using only pure volcanic spring water from the North Island distillery’s surrounding volcanic hills and family-farmed barley from New Zealand’s rich, fertile South Island, Pōkeno selects only the finest casks to mature their precious spirit, and the warm subtropical local climate accelerates its maturation and flavor development.

All of this allows Pōkeno to produce Single Malt whisky with exceptional body and flavor; whisky that captures the pure spirit of Aotearoa New Zealand.

93 Points - Whisky Advocate
"This complex New Zealand single malt has a nose offering vanilla-almond ice cream, fragrant wood, incense, and fruity notes of apricot, peach, Golden Delicious apple, mango, and pear. A smooth palate has those fruit notes showing, along with honeyed apple tart and white pepper, followed by a long sweet finish of honey, clementines, and crème brûlée. Thick and rich, like a great sauternes wine held in balance by spice and oak."
