The Cardrona Growing Wings, 64.9%

Price: 120 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: New Zealand


Evident power, so dilution is a must for this whisky aged for 5 years. Dark fruits, toffee, pumpkin spices, dried cranberry, mixed peel, pecan pie, red apple, and plum on the nose. Neat, there's red berries, strawberry, and pepper, but water enables a great appreciation of the oloroso sherry influence with flavors of pears, citrus, gingersnaps, red apple, cherry, and a spicy finish. 375 ml (792 bottles)
