A rare, expressive single cask from Pōkeno, this whisky takes a vibrant detour through a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc barrel, picking up all the lift and luminosity you’d expect. Think ripe citrus, tropical florals, and a gentle herbal snap wrapped around Pōkeno’s soft, creamy malt profile. The finish is bright, textural, and quietly luxurious ...like sunshine on polished oak.
It’s a one‑off cask that shows just how playful and elegant Kiwi whisky can be.

Pōkeno Distillery is one of New Zealand’s rising whisky powerhouses, built in the lush, rain‑fed foothills south of Auckland where pure water, local barley, and a slow, flavour‑first philosophy set the tone. Everything is crafted on site (from milling to maturation) with a focus on expressive cask work and a distinctly Kiwi sense of place. Their whiskies lean generous, textural, and fruit‑forward, shaped by New Zealand’s dramatic climate swings and an adventurous approach to wood selection. It’s a young distillery with serious ambition, turning out bottlings that feel both modern and unmistakably of Aotearoa.
