The Cardrona Just Hatched
The inaugural single malt from the Cardrona Distillery in New Zealand, dubbed Just Hatched, because it was bottled at three years old, just after its turning of age to legally be called a whisky. The whisky matured in a combo of bourbon and sherry casks before bottling at cask strength, a burly 64.4% ABV. Though it's young, this weighty whisky packs some rather complex flavours.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Toasted hot cross bun with butter, grape skin, a hint of cedar, walnut loaf and lemon sponge cake.
Palate
Oily almond, raw honey and a floral undertone, with buttery vanilla shortbread, grapefruit freshness and spicy undertones.
Finish
Candied fruit and malty cereal.
