The Cardrona Distillery Just Hatched 3 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 375ml

Experience the birth of a legend with The Cardrona Distillery "Just Hatched" 3 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 375ml at VS Liquor. This release marks the very first commercial bottling of the Cardrona spirit, representing the successful "hatching" of Desiree Whitaker’s vision to create a world-class New Zealand single malt. Distilled in the high-altitude Cardrona Valley—where the air is thin and the water flows from the pristine Mount Cardrona—this spirit was aged for three years in a sophisticated marriage of ex-bourbon and ex-Sherry butts. Despite its young age, the "Just Hatched" expression showcases remarkable poise, benefiting from the intense atmospheric pressure and temperature swings of the Southern Alps which fast-track the maturation process to develop a complex, bready, and honeyed profile.

On the palate, it is exceptionally rich and viscous, delivering a concentrated core of sweet malt and cream framed by a gentle oak grip and a long, warming finish that echoes with orchard fruits and a touch of nutmeg.
