Pokeno First Fill Casks 700ml

"This dram was created with Pōkeno's richest casks and bottled at a lush 48.2% ABV. The flavour alone will thaw your winter-chilled bones: layers of stewed plum and toffee apple, flurries of bright fruit with cinnamon, and swirls of dark, raisiny chocolate to finish...
Surrounded by volcanic mountains and nestled amongst the misty valleys of the Waikato region, Pōkeno was born from whisky veteran and founder Matt Johns’ passion project of distilling locally in the style of the best Speyside Scotch. In fact, the man’s a Scotch whisky veteran who’s been in the industry for 30 years now, with ex-Glenmorangie and Tullibardine experience, and his vision has triumphed: this family-owned and operated distillery is now the largest single malt distillery in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Pōkeno First Fill Casks is an exclusive, expertly balanced marriage of four casks – ex-Sherries, ex-Bourbon and toasted, caramelised virgin oak – all first-fill for maximum effect. Non-chill filtered and no colour added, this is as local as it gets: a family-owned and operated whisky distillery using locally-sourced purified volcanic spring water and 100% New Zealand barley grown in the South Island.
Colour: Burnt umber
Nose: Dark butterscotch smothers syrupy stewed plum, toasted cinnamon and dark cherry, laced with toffee apple and marmalade.
Palate: Deep and layered palate of spiced brioche French toast and tiramisu, with a long finish of velvety cherry chocolate and macerated raisin."
Alc 48.2%
