The Inspiration: A Moment of Pax
In September 1944, during the Battle of Arnhem, British paratroopers and German engineers called for “Pax” — a brief truce that saw whiskey and chocolate passed over ropes. This act of compassion, born from shared humanity amid conflict, is the beating heart of the Pax44 collection.
Craftsmanship and Innovation
Each Pax44 starts as a young, triple-distilled Irish whiskey. At 44% ABV, we add cocoa extract, port wine essence, and vanillin. Portafortuna’s master blenders handcraft every batch for balanced flavor.
More Than Whiskey: A Philanthropic Mission
Pax44 goes beyond taste. A supervisory board ensures 100% of profits from special editions fund veteran welfare, PTSD research, and community loneliness initiatives. Partnerships with The VC Gallery (Wales) and the Airborne Museum (Arnhem) channel proceeds into projects that honor service and sacrifice.
Community and Future Pathways
Pax44 unites history enthusiasts, mixologists, and social-impact advocates worldwide. Tasting events in Arnhem, London, and Kyiv spark dialogues on reconciliation and peace. Upcoming releases include an Asian oak-matured expression and a PX sherry cask edition — each commemorating peaceful moments born from conflict’s shadow.
