The Cardrona Single Malt Whisky 'Falcon', Central Otago
Amber and gold hues lead toa bouquet of finesse and softness then a rush of brown and black spices, clove and pepper then yellow stone fruits of apricot and peach. Uncut the alcohol carries a rush of intensity and warmth then flavours of honey and apricot. As this quality fades the palate is left with a silky coating on the palate with soft echoes of spice and fruit. Cutting the whisky with a few drops of Antipodes and the bouquet intensifies then flourishes with spice then dried flowers, dried apricot and a touch of iron. The dram cascades across the palate with a lighter touch, flavours of manuka honey and stone fruits, english tea and clove remain persistent, fresh, a touch of salt. and plenty of warmth. A very lengthy finish this whisky is delicious.
