The Cardrona 2018 Cardrona Day - Special Release Otago Pinot is a limited-edition single malt whisky from the prestigious Cardrona Distillery in New Zealand, unveiled in celebration of the distillery's seventh anniversary. This exceptional release marks a milestone as the first Cardrona whisky bottled in 70cl, with an exclusive run of only 1,217 bottles. Carefully matured for a minimum of four years, the whisky rests in four hand-selected first-fill Felton Road Pinot Noir casks, sourced from the renowned Otago wine region. These casks, previously used for maturing Pinot Noir from Felton Road, one of New Zealand's most celebrated wineries, retained many of the fruit elements from the wine, as they did not require re-charring. The whisky matured at an elevation of 600 meters above sea level, with an annual evaporation rate of 3%, contributing to its intense concentration and unique character. On the nose, the whisky reveals an array of juicy nectarines and Black Amber plums, intertwined with dried raspberries, toffee, poached nectarines, roasted cashews, and a hint of baking spices. The palate is richly fruity, offering flavors of peach, plums, and berries, complemented by subtle notes of toffee and spice. The finish is creamy and lingering, with a harmonious blend of fruity and spicy undertones. The Cardrona 2018 Cardrona Day - Special Release Otago Pinot stands as a testament to the distillery's craftsmanship, showcasing the extraordinary flavors of Cardrona's single malt whisky, elevated by the exceptional quality of Pinot Noir casks from Felton Road. This exquisite whisky is a must-try for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
