The Pōkeno Whisky Company has been selected for an international study examining how different climates shape whisky as it matures.

The Waikato distillery will take part in Climate-Driven Maturation Signatures in Global Whisky: A Comparative Multi-Continental Chemical and Sensory Study. The project will examine whiskies from eight continents, including one matured in Antarctica.

Food scientists will compare the whiskies’ chemistry and taste to assess how climate influences maturation. The study draws on The 8 Continent Series, a collection that includes the whiskies being examined.
