Pokeno Exploration Winter Malt 48%
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.

Absinthe Verte NV - 40%
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.
