Show Notes

One New Zealand-based whisky producer has walked away from the San Francisco World Spirits Awards with an impressive haul.

Pōkeno Whisky brought home two Double Gold Awards, a Gold and two Silver medals by the end of the event.

Founder Matt Johns says this is great for the company's international credibility.

"We're just focused on making the best single malt we possibly can with no compromise on anything we do - and that's starting to show through and be appreciated."
