Tasting Notes
A true gem from the land of the Kiwis, this Cardrona Growing Wings expression is a delightful adventure for the senses. Distilled in 2016 and lovingly nurtured in an Old Forester bourbon cask until 2021, it captures the essence of New Zealand's rugged landscapes. The nose is a lush meadow, with notes of freshly cut grass, melted butter, and comforting flapjacks, accompanied by the sweetness of dried pears. On the palate, vanilla richness mingles with honey and nectarine, while warming oak spices build a crescendo in the background. The finish is a delightful contrast, with lemon meringue, caraway, and a refreshing grassy note. Bottled at a robust 66.5% ABV, this limited edition of 341 35cl bottles offers an intense yet balanced experience, showcasing the art of cask maturation from a unique corner of the whisky world.
