Pōkeno Exploration Series #2: Winter Malt

The Warmth of the Waikato: A Richly Roasted & Manuka-Smoked Innovation

Embrace the cozy depth of New Zealand with the Pōkeno Exploration Series #2: Winter Malt. While the Exploration Series #3 leans into lightness, #2 is "engineered" for the soul-warming richness of a Southern Hemisphere winter. This "bold statement" of a single malt is "positively brimming" with complexity, utilizing a "spectacular" blend of specialty malts: Manuka-smoked malt, chocolate-roasted malt, toffee malt, and Laureate distillers' malt.

Matured in handpicked first-fill bourbon barrels, this "modern masterpiece" "transforms" the spirit into a "personalized oasis" of roasted flavors. It is a "firm favourite" for those who enjoy the "sophisticated charm" of a stout-like profile in their whisky. With an "unwavering commitment to flavor," Winter Malt is "built to impress" and "stands the test of time" as a "vibrant" celebration of New Zealand's unique ingredients.

The Winter Build: Smoked, Roasted & Toffee Malts

Winter Malt is "built to impress," focusing on the "stunning and functional" impact of its diverse mash bill:

Specialty Malt Quartet: The combination of Manuka-smoked and chocolate-roasted malts provides a "rich and thick" foundation of smoke and cocoa.

Toffee & Laureate Malts: These "transform" the spirit, adding "sticky, sweet layers" of caramel and a "vibrant" cereal backbone.

Handpicked First-Fill Bourbon Barrels: The "perfect foundation" that layers "vanilla and honeycomb" over the "bold" roasted notes.

Manuka Smoke: A "uniquely New Zealand" element that offers "layers of floral smoke," distinct from the medicinal peat of Scotland.

Official Tasting Notes

Prepare your palate for a "luscious" and "hearty" journey through the roastery and the hearth:

Nose: An "inviting" and "vibrant" bouquet of freshly brewed coffee and dark chocolate. Look for "fragrant notes" of honeycomb and a "smidge" of floral Manuka smoke.
Palate: A "full-bodied" and "expressive" entry. You’ll find "mounds of dark roasted beans" and bitter cocoa, balanced by the "luscious" sweetness of toffee and maple syrup.
Finish: A sophisticated and "lasting" conclusion where rich coffee oils linger alongside charred oak and a final, "vibrant" hint of sweet woodsmoke.
