Pōkeno is nestled in a warm, misty valley on New Zealand's North Island, about 50km from Auckland and surrounded by the volcanic hills from which pure spring water is sourced for the whisky production.

Barry Crockett was the Master Distiller of the Midleton Distillery until early 2013 and thus worked for Midleton for 47 years. Through the storage in seasoned & unseasoned American oak barrels, the whiskey receives a remarkable complexity that is second to none.

The distillery finally opened in 2014 to much local fanfare. When the brothers realized they needed someone to help manage the business (and them), their mother Marcia -- aka the Mother of Texas Whiskey -- joined the staff. The Likarishes mash, ferment, distill, barrel-age and bottle on site in Denison. The spirits are made using high quality heirloom and non-GMO corn from local farms to capture the authentic flavor of north Texas.
The name Ironroot pays tribute to viticulturist and Denison native T.V. Munson’s hardy “iron” roots that helped save the French wine industry from total destruction. Munson’s efforts resulted in Denison and Cognac ultimately becoming sister cities. The brothers found inspiration in adapting the French distilling techniques, especially the process of elévage, to tame the intense climate of Texas rather than imitate traditional flavor profiles.
In 2011, the Likarish brothers took a leap of faith. Robert was wrapping up his law degree and Jonathan was working as a biomedical engineer when they decided to throw caution to the wind and pursue distilling. Over the next several years, they traveled the country interning under the best minds in the industry until they decided to put down distilling roots in Denison, TX.

"The Caskhound" is a German independent bottler. Tilo Schnabel turned his long-standing passion for Scotch whisky into a profession in early 2020 when he founded his label "The Caskhound - the nose for fine whisky". Since then, his bottlings stand for honest drinking whisky with a lot of heart and taste and of course at cask strength, uncolored and not chill-filtered. His malts are becoming increasingly popular and he also shows with his bottlings that quality does not always have to be expensive.
