This award-winning spirit is then mellowed in Domaine Rewa ex-Chardonnay cask from the French potter in Central Otago.

This bottling celebrates Cardrona Distillery's partnership with Domaine Rewa, an exciting local Central Otago biodynamic vineyard.
Distilling
Cardrona Distillery does not cut corners. The Distillery has designed its craft process around the deep single malt traditions, starting from scratch with malted barley to create a genuine artisan premium spirit, a rarity in the spirits industry. Every aspect of Cardrona’s products is of the highest quality, from the pure Cardrona Valley alpine water, the rich malted barley and the locally foraged ingredients to the hand picked oak casks from Spain and America. Cardrona Distillery’s spirits are distilled using copper stills and all natural ingredients. The still house is home to five stills and the distillation process is: Milling | Mashing | Fermenting | Distilling | Maturing | Bottling.
