Description

The Cardrona 5 Year Old 'Growing Wings' is a single malt whisky from New Zealand's Cardrona Distillery. The distillery was founded by Desiree Reid, who pursued her dream of creating a New Zealand single malt. The first spirit ran on 23 October 2015, and the first cask was laid on 5 November 2015. This expression is part of the 'Growing Wings' series, celebrating five years in oak. It is bottled at natural cask strength and presented in a stylish bottle with a wooden stand. The 'Growing Wings' Solera is a marriage of select ex-Oloroso sherry butts and ex-bourbon barrels.

Nose
Sweet floral aromas with notes of honeysuckle and fresh honey, caramelised apple and cut hay, malt loaf with salted butter, nutty barley, walnuts, vanilla fudge, hints of caramel, toasted oak, and warm baking spices.
Palate
Smooth and delicate with creamy sweetness and light floral character, candied peels and jammy sultanas, more walnuts, scones with cream and jam, a kick of cassia and ginger, layers of vanilla, honey, and rich malt sweetness.
Finish
A warm finish of cooked orchard fruits and baking spice, long and smooth with lingering oak and spice, gentle bitterness, and a light acidic note with a little soft pepper.
