This special bottling supports the conservation of the endangered Karearea - the New Zealand Falcon. The Cardrona Valley is one of New Zealand's few nesting grounds for the Karearea, our only native falcon and our most threatened bird of prey. The Karearea Project is a community initiative led by Cardrona Alpine Resort and Cardrona Distillery are proud to be the project's Primary Supporter. The Karearea Project is driven by Cardrona's shared passion for protecting the environment and helping the karearea thrive. In addition to their base financial commitment for the project they have selected an extraordinary cask of Cardrona Single Malt Whisky from the warehouse to sell in support of this important cause. Half of all proceeds from this rare Port cask bottling will be donated to The Karearea Project. Tasting notes of ripe brambles, strawberry, rosehip, plum, poached pear, crème de violet, white chocolate, clotted cream, honey.
