Matt Johns has more than 25 years in the Global Whisky Industry, which included a long period at Glenmorangie and an even longer one running Tullibardine for many years. After moving to New Zealand in 2013, Matt’s vision was to help put Aotearoa on the map as a whisky producing nation, using all of his experience to craft the finest single malts possible. At Pōkeno there is no compromise in any part of the process, and Matt and Celine have built a state-of-the-art distillery managing all processes on site, including building New Zealand’s only cooperage. Pōkeno Whisky is a real passion project, and the aim is to have as much fun possible whilst living out the dream.
In 2017 Pōkeno Whisky was founded with a vision to put New Zealand on the map as a producer of single malt whisky. It is the largest single malt distillery in the country. Today, the Pōkeno Whisky Company handles all processing on site at a state-of-the-art distillery with maturation warehouses, filtration and bottling facilities, and a fully functional cooperage.
Using only pure volcanic spring water from the North Island distillery’s surrounding volcanic hills and family-farmed barley from New Zealand’s rich, fertile South Island, Pōkeno selects only the finest casks to mature their precious spirit, and the warm subtropical local climate accelerates its maturation and flavor development.
