The Cardrona The Falcon is a New Zealand single malt whisky distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2023 by Cardrona Distillery, a woman-owned producer. It was matured in an oloroso butt, a bourbon barrel and a Pinot Noir barrique, then bottled at 52% ABV without chill filtration. The bottle size is 700ml
To be completely honest, despite my fondness for Cardrona, I don’t see much sense in importing a very good but maybe not totally exceptional whisky like this all the way to Europe or the US in world3.0. Perhaps our friends in Australia or NZ should enjoy it first and foremost. Unless they start finishing it in manuka honey casks, of course...
