Cardrona Distillery

Single Malt Whisky Otago Pinot Cask (700ml)

Our barley is grown on the rich fertile plains of the South Island of New Zealand, then traditionally malted. Cardronas malted barley is milled on-site at the distillery and combined with pristine mountain water in a traditional single malt lauter mash tun. The wort is drawn into stainless steel washbacks and yeast added for a long, 70+ hour fermentation, fermenting the natural barley sugars in to wash. When the wash is ready, the liquid is double-distilled in a pair of hand-hammered Forsyth copper pot stills, bespoke to Cardrona, and the rich, sweet spirit filled into traditionally seasoned ex-sherry, ex-pinot noir or ex-bourbon casks before being laid to slumber and mature.
