Description

The Cardrona Single Malt Whisky 'Just Hatched' is a natural cask strength bottling, marking the momentous occasion of the distillery's whisky reaching three years old. It is a marriage of whiskies matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, revealing Cardrona's underlying character of borage flower honey, vanilla, and spice. This specific release is the Dramfest 2020 edition.
