Pōkeno Origin
Single Malt
Pōkeno // New Zealand
Founded in 2017, Pōkeno Whisky Co. is located just over 50km southeast of Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand, and is the largest single malt distillery in the country.
The subtropical climate results in an angel's share of around 8% per year, accelerating maturation considerably. Origin is made with family-farmed barley from the South Island and volcanic spring water from the North Island, fully matured in first-fill bourbon casks and bottled at 86 proof.

Tasting Notes
"The aroma of the whisky is quite fruity, particularly with coconut and pear notes. There's some toasted wood and light dried herbal notes as well as some fresh beer. The weight of the whisky is medium-light and a touch slick, but there're pleasant notes of toasted cereal and a dollop of honey. It feels tangy and lightly spicy on the palate and again those coconut and pear flavors come back on the taste as well. It's on the young side, but this whisky is enjoyable enough to purchase just out of curiosity's sake. Bring to a gathering with other whisky drinkers. "
