The Cardrona Growing Wings - Old Forester Bourbon Cask Whisky

A marvellous single malt all the way from New Zealand, produced by the Cardrona Distillery for its Growing Wings series. The range has featured all sorts of different cask types – this time, the whisky was aged in a bourbon cask from Old Forester, a popular bourbon brand (in fact, it's said to have been the first one sold in bottles in America!). This expression was distilled in 2016 and allowed to age until 2021 in the aforementioned bourbon cask, then bottled up at an intense 66.5% ABV with an outturn of 341 35cl bottles.
