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.
