The Cardrona Otago Pinot Cask - Cardrona Day Special Release

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 52%

The Cardrona distillery celebrated its birthday in 2022 by releasing this limited-edition single malt. A marriage of four casks that previously held Felton Road pinot noir wine, it boasts dense notes of stone fruits and dried berries among the richly roasted, nutty malt. A superb offering from the young New Zealand distillery. A release of 1,217 bottles.
