Pokeno Revelation ‘Bourbon and Red Wine Cask’ Single Malt 700ml
A marriage of spirit fully aged in first fill bourbon and New Red Wine casks from one of our favourite wineries. It is then finished together in cask for a final period of maturation.
Soft red summer fruits, with notes of fresh cut hay, strawberry bonbons, lychee and sherbet combine for a sweet and smooth taste of summer.
Produced entirely from New Zealand ingredients, and distilled, matured and bottled at their state-of-the-art distillery, the Pōkeno range of single malts honours the pure spirit of Aotearoa New Zealand.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
