Aged in Otago Pinot Noir barrels, sourced from the Maude Vineyard in Wanaka. This reddish-amber whisky delivers a fruity aroma and a smooth yet complex flavour profile. Aromas of chocolate-dipped ripe cherries, hot cross bun, fig, blackberry, a touch of oak, almonds and vanilla greet the nose. The flavor follows with chocolate-dipped cherries, black currents, raisins, vanilla, and nutmeg, backed by smooth mouth-filling tannins and chocolatey oak.

Cardrona's 2023 Single Malt Whisky release is an exquisite trinity of three hand-selected casks, drawn from some of Cardrona's oldest stocks, a 7 year old ex-Oloroso Sherry butt, a 7 year old ex-Boubon barrel and a 5 year old ex-Pinot noir barrique. With just 1,501 bottles, this expression demonstrates a mastery of both maturation in an extreme environment and world-leading innovation in cask management. Burnt toffee. Vanilla cream. Sun-scorched nectarine. Pepper. Cardrona's earnest work's desire realised.
