This special bottling supports the conservation of the endangered kārearea – the New Zealand falcon. The Cardrona Valley is one of New Zealand’s few nesting grounds for the kārearea, our only native falcon and our most threatened bird of prey. 

The Kārearea Project is a community initiative led by Cardrona Alpine Resort and we are proud to be the project’s Primary Supporter. The Kārearea Project is driven by our shared passion for protecting the environment and helping the kārearea thrive. In addition to our base annual financial commitment for the project we have selected this extraordinary cask of Cardrona Single Malt Whisky from our warehouse to sell in support of this important cause. Half of all proceeds from this rare Port cask bottling will be donated to The Kārearea Project.
