Multi award winning 'The Source' Gin by Cardrona Distillery is forged by the four seasons that blow through the Cardrona Valley, Southern Alps, New Zealand. A natural matrix of locally foraged rosehip, together with traditional juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, lemon and orange zest, vapour-distilled into the Single Malt Spirit. You may notice the spirit clouds with dilution or when cold, this occurs because it is non-chill filtered, this allows us to deliver the full flavour and character - a mark of distinction for this very special drop.

About the Distillery and Process

Creating the finest spirits with pure Alpine water sourced from the heart of Mount Cardrona, from New Zealand's Southern Alps, and locally foraged seasonal ingredients to produce an unparalleled signature taste.

Cardrona Distillery is family owned and operated. The very best equipment has been sourced from the four corners of the earth, to make exquisite handcrafted Single Malt Whisky, Gin, Vodka and Liqueurs

Cardrona does not cut corners. From the barley varietal, the grind of the mill and the size of the mash tun to the temperature of the alpine water, every step of the process is integral to forming the character of the spirit and has been meticulously thought out.

The Distillery has designed its craft process around the deep single malt traditions, starting from scratch with malted barley to create a genuine artisan premium spirit, a rarity in the spirits industry.

Every aspect of Cardrona’s products is of the highest quality, from the pure Cardrona Valley alpine water, the rich malted barley and the locally foraged ingredients to the hand picked oak casks from Spain and America.
Cardrona spirit starts with the very best of ingredients, water, malted barley and yeast.
