The 58% cask strength core expression from Tasmania’s Lark distillery.
One of Australia’s most consistently great single malts, this comes from a variety of cask types but there is a distinct flavour profile of fortified barrels here.
Arguably the most famous name in Australian whisky, Lark was founded in 1992 by Bill and Lyn Lark, the first couple of the modern industry. It is now a publicly-listed company.
Nose: Cinnamon, nutmeg, liquorice and orange peel with vanilla, butterscotch and oaky aromas.
Palate: Intense vanilla and Christmas cake sweetness. Citrus and butterscotch flavours with stewed fruits, maple syrup and a hint of Tasmanian peat smoke. Complex citrus and spices give way to oak and stewed fruits.
Finish: Citrus, spices and toffee notes develop into a warming finish that stays long after the last sip.
