April 2026 - Spirts of the ANZACS Whiskey Tasting

For our April tasting we we’re crossing the ditch for a Trans-Tasman showdown at our favourite new venue El Ritmo Bar.

The night will see us balancing the bright, tropical "fruit-bomb" character of New Zealand’s Pōkeno with the rich, award-winning complexity of Australian standouts from Amber Lane, Archie Rose, and Corowa. It’s a lineup that ranges from elegant, wine-cask finishes to bold, spice-driven malts, perfectly demonstrating.

The full list of drams include:

• Pōkeno Origin (NZ)
• Amber Lane Silk Road (AU)
• Amber Lane Noble Lane (AU)
• Archie Rose Australian Malt Whisky
• Corowa Distilling Co. Characters
