Nestled in a warm, often misty valley, protected by the volcanic hills from which they source pure spring water, Pōkeno is a hidden treasure of the remote and beautiful land of New Zealand and a natural choice of location for a state of the art distillery.

The team at Pōkeno have the ultimate goal of creating one of the world's great single malts. Batch production, long fermentation and slow distillation are just a few of the things the team Pōkeno do to define this unique spirit. As craft distillers, they are also able to focus on quality over quantity, on doing things the right way, not the easy way. They use only the finest casks to mature their spirit, and the warm sub-tropical local climate accelerates its maturation and flavour development. All of this allows the production of a single malt whisky with exceptional body and flavour; whisky that captures the pure spirit of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

This New Zealand spirit is forged through a unique marriage of culture and climate. It's an intangible phenomenon that produces tangible greatness and enables Kiwis to fearlessly punch above their weight on a global stage. And it's this spirit that inspires us to experiment with flavour to create world-class- but distinctively different - single malts. 

Pokeno Origin celebrates their unique place in the world. Produced from the finest local barley, and unrushed through fermentation and distillation to enhance body and flavour, matured only in first fill bourbon casks. 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.
