Pōkeno Prohibition Porter First Fill Bourbon Cask Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: No Age Statement Country: New Zealand
The Pōkeno Distillery is nestled in a warm, often misty valley, protected by the volcanic hills from which they source their pure spring water, Pōkeno is a hidden treasure of the remote and beautiful land – and a natural choice of location for a state-of-the-art distillery.
Everything Pōkeno do is driven by their goal to create one of the world’s great single malts. Batch production, long fermentation and slow distillation are just a few of the things that help make Pōkeno whisky different. As craft distillers, they are also able to focus on quality over quantity, doing things their way, not the easy way.
Pōkeno select only the finest casks to mature their precious spirit, and the warm sub-tropical local climate accelerates its maturation and flavour development. In Pōkeno the angels do not wait.
All of this allows Pōkeno to produce single malt whisky with exceptional body and flavour; whisky that captures the pure spirit of Aotearoa New Zealand.
For this special edition, after a full maturation in a first fill bourbon cask, then they have finished the whisky in a barrel which they lent to their friends at Liberty Brewing, for the maturation of their fantastic Prohibition Porter.
The result is an incredibly smooth and rich single malt, with notes of cocoa and chocolate, which combine beautifully with the citrus and vanilla.
