- Description
- Cardrona's Growing Wings is a New Zealand single malt aged in a marriage of ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks, delivering surprising richness for a young spirit. The palate unfolds with buttery pecan pie, treacle tart, and vanilla cream that coat the mouth with sweetness and spice. Bottled at a robust 64.6%, this suits those who appreciate cask influence and dessert-like depth without requiring decades of maturation.
