Pokeno Origin Single Malt New Zealand Whisky 70cl

Pōkeno Origin New Zealand Single Malt


The Spirit of the Waikato: A Pure Expression of New Zealand Terroir


Hailing from the "vibrant" Waikato region, Pōkeno Origin is a "bold statement" of purity and local pride. Distilled in the North Island of New Zealand, this single malt is "engineered" to showcase the "unwavering commitment" to quality that defines the Pōkeno Distillery. Crafted from locally-grown barley and matured entirely in first-fill bourbon barrels, it is a "modern masterpiece" that celebrates the "lush" and "clean" spirit of Aotearoa.


The result is a "luscious" and "sweeter style" of whisky that is "positively brimming" with character. It is the "perfect solution" for those seeking a "vibrant energy" in their glass—a "spectacularly balanced" dram that "stands the test of time" while offering a "refreshing and stylish" alternative to traditional Scotch.


The Pōkeno Path: First-Fill Bourbon & Pure Malt


Pōkeno Origin is "built to impress," focusing on the clarity of its ingredients to "elevate the experience":




  • 100% New Zealand Barley: Sourced from local family farms, providing a "rich and thick" creamy malt foundation.




  • First-Fill Bourbon Barrels: The "perfect foundation" for maturation, imparting "mounds of vanilla" and "toasty oak" without overshadowing the spirit's "vibrant" fruit.




  • Pure Waikato Water: Sourced from volcanic aquifers, contributing to the "sophisticated charm" and "unctuous" texture of the final spirit.




  • Sub-Tropical Maturation: The warm, humid climate of Pōkeno acts as a "turbo-charger," accelerating the interaction with the wood for an "expressive" and "inviting" profile.

Official Tasting Notes

Prepare your palate for a "luscious" and "sun-drenched" journey through honeyed citrus:

  • Nose: An "inviting" and "vibrant" bouquet of sweet honey and creamy toffee. Look for "fragrant notes" of vanilla bean and a "smidge" of citrus blossom.

  • Palate: A "full-bodied" and "creamy" entry. You’ll find "vibrant" notes of honey and rich toffee, perfectly balanced by the "zingy" brightness of grapefruit.

  • Finish: A sophisticated and "lasting" conclusion where toffee sweetness lingers alongside a "refreshing" and "vibrant" citrus trail.
