The Cardrona Distillery Growing Wings 5 Year Old Breckenridge Bourbon Cask Single Malt Whisky 375ml

Experience the soaring potential of the Southern Alps with The Cardrona Distillery "Growing Wings" 5 Year Old Breckenridge Bourbon Cask Single Malt Whisky 375ml at VS Liquor. This milestone release marks a pivotal moment in the distillery's "Progress Report" series, documenting the journey of their spirit toward its eventual 10-year signature expression. Founded by Desiree Whitaker in 2015, Cardrona utilizes a gravity-fed distillery located in New Zealand's highest mountain valley. This specific "Growing Wings" edition was aged for five years in a hand-selected ex-bourbon cask from the Breckenridge Distillery in Colorado. The extreme temperature fluctuations of the Otago region accelerate the interaction between the spirit and the American oak, resulting in a single malt of surprising maturity and structural depth for its age.
