Crafted at the Pokeno Distilling Company, this expression showcases the growing reputation of New Zealand whisky on the world stage. The spirit is matured in carefully selected casks that impart depth and complexity, resulting in a whisky that stands confidently alongside international counterparts while retaining a unique regional identity.

Nose: The aroma opens with rich honeyed malt and subtle oak, layered with notes of vanilla, dried stone fruit, and a whisper of coastal salinity that speaks to its New Zealand origins. There’s a gentle warmth that invites you in without overwhelming the senses.

Palate: On the tongue, expect a harmonious balance of sweet caramel and toasted grain, with mid-palate notes of ripe orchard fruit, dark chocolate, and a hint of spice. The texture is smooth and coating, with a medium body that carries the flavours with purpose and poise.

Finish: The finish is warming and persistent, leaving echoes of oak tannin, butterscotch, and a delicate peppery spice that lingers pleasantly. It’s a satisfying conclusion that invites contemplation and another sip.

Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to unlock hidden layers of aroma and flavour. A single ice cube can soften the warmth on warmer days, though purists will appreciate it at room temperature to experience its full character.

This is an excellent choice for whisky enthusiasts exploring the burgeoning New Zealand whisky scene, or as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates craft spirits with genuine provenance. A bottle that celebrates local distilling expertise and offers genuine drinking pleasure for both everyday enjoyment and special moments.
