It started from nothing into folklore with worldwide following, this has nothing to do with the Distillery itself. The Bra Fence started between Christmas 1998 and New Year 1999. You are greeted at distillery entrance with a fence with hundreds of bras hanging on them. Thanks to Tom for the lift for a travel weary me, after four weeks of brutal travel up and down country hosting whisky tastings this was absolute bliss. An opportunity to soak in some of most beautiful scenery yes thanks, to gawk at beautiful snow-capped mountains galore. If you ever had the pleasure of driving from Queenstown to Cardrona you would understand how good it is to be a passenger in this part of world. Luckily GM of Sales at Cardrona Distillery Tom Fastier offered to pick me up from Queenstown Airport and drop me back into Queenstown. Fly into Queenstown from Auckland on first flight, visit Cardrona Distillery, host whisky tasting in Queenstown, Fly out on first flight next morning. It was going to be tight schedule from the go. It was the perfect opportunity to visit and pay my homage to this much revered distillery nestled in the foothills of some of most beautiful snow-capped mountains. Then the opportunity came, during my 2019 Nationwide Winter Whisky Tour I booked a gig in Queenstown. Life just kept getting in the way but desire was strong to go visit the most ‘desirable, excellent and high-quality distillery’ in New Zealand. Just like the whisky ageing patiently in the barrels at Cardrona Distillery I waited patiently for my turn to visit, writes Ash Parmar, a whisky blogger from New Zealand.
