The Pokeno Winter Malt is the second edition in the Exploration series, a bold range of single malts crafted by the New Zealand Pokeno distillery.
This whisky, a true celebration of local terroirs and craftsmanship, stands out for its unique use of four carefully selected types of malt.
Aged exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels, it offers remarkable aromatic richness where gentle smoke meets chocolatey and caramelized flavors.
Unique characteristics of the malts used:
- Manuka Smoked Malt: The only malt in the world smoked with the Manuka tree, native to New Zealand. It brings a soft, sweet, and floral smoke.
- Chocolate Roasted Malt: Roasted at high temperatures, it develops deep aromas of dark chocolate and coffee.
- Toffee Malt: Roasted at very low temperatures, then caramelized, this malt delivers notes of honey and butter caramel.
- Laureate Distillers Malt: A very soft and floral malt.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: An elegant, sweet, and honeyed smoke intertwines with rich aromas of chocolate caramel, vanilla pod, and caramel.
PALATE: Round and generous, it reveals intense flavors of bitter dark chocolate and cocoa beans, supported by creamy caramel accents.
FINISH: Long, sweet, and persistent.

Rebel Yell was the first American distillery to substitute wheat for rye in 1910 to create a Bourbon with a sweeter palate and notes of vanilla and toffee. Today, Rebel Yell is made under license at Heaven Hill, one of Kentucky's oldest distilleries, still using the original recipe that earned it a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2011.
The Sortilège Blueberries is a Canadian whisky liqueur with maple syrup, enhanced by the delicious flavors of the famous wild blueberries from the Lac Saint-Jean region. The result is a remarkably refined liqueur that is both fruity and slightly sweet. It is best enjoyed chilled, on ice, and its richness also lends itself to coffee and cocktails. You can also serve it on its own as the perfect conclusion to an excellent meal. Sortilège is crafted from an original recipe by the descendants of Quebec's first settlers, who brought the whisky-making techniques of the New World and added a local native ingredient, maple syrup, to create a truly unique spirit.
L'Absinthe Verte NV is a modern absinthe that draws inspiration from traditional French recipes while adding a touch of contemporary boldness.
Created by George Rowley in 2008, this absinthe takes its inspiration from research conducted at the Schimmel Library, the oldest herbalist library in Europe.
While the classic absinthe ingredients, such as grand wormwood, fennel, and star anise, are well represented, more innovative elements like natural vanilla from Madagascar and cocoa beans add a unique sweetness and complexity. The name "Envy" (NV) evokes feelings of passion, desire, and admiration—a drink so desired it stirs envy in those who have yet to taste it.
