Pokeno Origin ‘First Fill Bourbon’ Single Malt Whiskey 700ml
Fully matured in first fill bourbon casks, this is pure Pōkeno. Toasted vanilla beans and sweet butterscotch give way to citrus notes, creamy toffee and hints of caramelized banana for a sweet, complex and lingering finish.
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.
