Product details
Pōkeno Origin New Zealand Single Malt Whisky is a celebration of Aotearoa's unique terroir and the meticulous craftsmanship of the Pōkeno Distillery, situated just south of Auckland. Established in 2017, Pōkeno has swiftly risen to prominence as New Zealand's largest dedicated single malt distillery. The distillery prides itself on using 100% New Zealand-grown barley and pure volcanic spring water sourced from the surrounding hills. Employing traditional methods, including long fermentation and slow distillation, Pōkeno enhances the body and flavor of its spirit. Matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks, Pōkeno Origin develops a rich and complex character that reflects the purity of its ingredients and the dedication of its makers.
It is an incredibly sweet and round whisky, with beautiful citrus, honey, grapefruit and creamy toffee notes, giving way to a complex and lingering finish. This whisky's balanced sweetness and spice make it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, aged cheeses, or rich desserts. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, Pōkeno Origin captures the essence of New Zealand's natural beauty and craftsmanship.
