If there’s ever a whisky built for cold winter’s nights, then Pōkeno First Fill is surely it.
From the archives of our long and fruitful collaboration with these craft trailblazers, this is a 1-of-1 batch made to be the best winter warmer on your whisky shelf. True to form from these previous World’s Best NZ Single Malt at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Created with Pōkeno's richest casks and bottled at a lush 48.2% ABV, the flavour will thaw your cold winter bones: layers of dark butterscotch, spiced brioche French toast, toasted cinnamon, dark cherry and syrupy stewed plum.
Steered by founder Matt Johns' 30+ years of Highland Scotch experience, we've never seen a craft distillery so small deliver a Whisky Club exclusive this big.
This is a one-off marriage of Pōkeno's richest first-fill casks – ex-Sherries, ex-Bourbon and toasted, caramelised virgin oak – expertly bottled with no chill filtration or added colour for a beautifully balanced, weighty winter dram.
Enjoy with our hand-blown crystal Glencairn glass, individually valued at $60.
