Our Story

Nau mai, Haere Mai. Welcome to the Pōkeno Whisky Company.

Thank you for joining us on our journey of discovery, distilling creative and innovative single malts, which are a true reflection of the culture and climate of Aotearoa New Zealand, this uniquely beautiful country that we are lucky enough to call home.

Our Whisky

Using only local ingredients, and unburdened by any expectations other than our own, our small team of passionate distillers craft bold, creative single malts that capture the pure spirit of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our Place

Pokeno is nestled in a warm, misty, humid valley of the Waikato, at the foot of the volcanic Bombay hills, which give us our pure spring water, and our remarkable climate for the maturation of our whiskies. It is here that you will find our state of the art distillery.
