Growing Wings is the second expression of The Cardrona Single Malt Whisky coming of age. Aged for five years in a single selected ex-Oloroso Sherry butt #101. Growing Wings #101 is decadently rich and delivered at natural cask strength. Dark fruits on the nose, and sticky treacle in the mouth. Opens with water.

Cardrona's 2023 Single Malt Whisky release is an exquisite trinity of three hand-selected casks, drawn from some of Cardrona's oldest stocks, a 7 year old ex-Oloroso Sherry butt, a 7 year old ex-Boubon barrel and a 5 year old ex-Pinot noir barrique. With just 1,501 bottles, this expression demonstrates a mastery of both maturation in an extreme environment and world-leading innovation in cask management. Burnt toffee. Vanilla cream. Sun-scorched nectarine. Pepper. Cardrona's earnest work's desire realised.
