Nestled in a warm, often misty valley, protected by volcanic hills from which pure spring water is sourced, Pōkeno is a hidden treasure of a remote and beautiful land - and a natural choice of location for a state-of-the-art distillery. The distillery is driven by a goal to create one of the world's great single malts, employing batch production, long fermentation, and slow distillation to differentiate itself from others. As a craft distillery, the focus is on quality over quantity and doing things their way, not the easy way.
Only the finest casks are selected to mature the precious spirit, which benefits from the warm sub-tropical local climate, accelerating its maturation and flavour development. In Pōkeno, the angels do not wait.
