A-F

The second of Pokeno's three part core range, the 'Discovery' is a combination of spirit that has been matured in a combination of first fill Bourbon casks, as well as both first fill ex Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso Sherry casks before being finally married together. 

The result is a deeper, richer expression, brimmed with notes of dark chocolate and black forest gateau, with ripened cherries and rich dark fruits. The finish is rich and incredibly smooth and long lasting. 

One of the newest on the New Zealand Whisky scene. Pokeno distillery, nestled just outside the small Waikato town of the same name has quickly gained traction both here and abroad. Part of their core release range, the 'Origin' has been distilled using only local New Zealand malted barley, and  exclusively aged in first fill ex Bourbon casks. Bottled at 43% the result is an exceptionally smooth Whisky, perfect for those who are newcomers to the spirit, or indeed those who really enjoy their whisky. 

There are notes of sweet honey, caramel and creamy toffee notes, which give way to juicy citrus and grapefruit, with a sweet, smooth lingering finish.

This expression from Pokeno rounds off their core range, matured in both first fill ex Bourbon casks as well as a selection of ex New Zealand Red Wine casks from an undisclosed winery. This whisky has notes of mango, grapefruit, strawberry bonbons, lychee and sherbet. The finish is sweet and smooth.
