Wohoo!

Very excited to receive a new Gold Medal and 95/100 at the hugely influential International Wine & Spirit Competition - IWSC.

This new Gold Medal represents a milestone for our signature Roots Marlborough Dry Gin, achieving her 10th Gold Medal in only 7 years (as well as two Trophies).

In an industry that is seemingly spilling over with competitions and different awards, the IWSC stands above the majority with thousands of entrants from more than 20 countries and some of the most respected judges in the world.

Very proud of our little gin brand from rural Marlborough. Made entirely on estate, by our own hands.

Cin, cin.

Tomorrow's special Cardrona Distillery In-Store Tasting at Cheese & Cheers on Thursday, June 11th from 5:30pm to 7pm will include the following options

The Falcon - The Falcon Single Malt Whisky is crafted from a trinity of three hand-selected casks drawn from some of our oldest stocks and bottled at 52% ABV. Burnt toffee. Vanilla cream. Sun-scorched nectarine. Pepper. Layered, expressive and resolutely Cardrona, this is our earnest work’s desire realised.

American Barrel - This special single cask release delights with notes of borage flower honey, clotted cream, toasted oats, vanilla bean and sun-scorched nectarine.

Sherry Cask - This special single cask single malt whisky release delights with notes of maple pear tart, sticky raisins, hazelnut, chewy nougat, drizzled with borage flower honey.

Otago Pinot Barrel - This special single cask release delights with notes of sun-scorched nectarine, ripe berry fruits, fig, pecan pie, borage flower honey and clotted cream.

PLUS tastings for:

The Reid Vodka - Decadently rich, The Reid Single Malt Vodka is the best vodka you will ever taste. It was awarded Gold at the World’s Best 50 International Awards in New York. On the nose, The Reid is delicately nuanced with pear drops, lemon, toffee and malt biscuits. On the tongue, the Reid is weighted and balanced. Exquisite neat, with water, or mixed into a crafted cocktail.

The Rose Rabbit Liqueurs - Rose Rabbit Liqueurs elevate cocktails beyond expectations. Explore our range of exquisite flavours, featuring locally foraged ingredients. Explore Orange, Elderflower, Barrel Aged Cherry and Butterscotch, which features a closely guarded secret family recipe. Made with our unaged single malt spirit and with high ABVs, Rose Rabbit defies perceptions of liqueurs.
