Lark Christmas Cask Release 2020 500ml

A merry single malt whisky full of Christmas spirit.

Each year, a local patisserie selects Tasmanian red wine casks to fill with fruit jus, used for making their Christmas fruit mince pies. These fresh, festive casks are then emptied and transported to Lark Distilling Co. where they are filled with our own seasonal spirit.

This year, the single malt chosen was from Old Hobart Distillery, selected especially for its bright and refined floral notes. The casks matched perfectly with the spirit, giving the whisky some deliciously decadent seasonal spice characteristics. The result is Christmas in a glass: liquid plum pudding with lashings of yuletide cheer.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Custard-covered plum pudding full of raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange peel, with a side of baked apples and shortbread.

Palate

Warming spices, mulled wine and citrus blend into the familiar flavours of Tasmanian apples, cloves, cinnamon and a wisp of peat smoke from an open fire.

Finish

A long and complex journey beginning at Christmas dinner and ending with a satisfying dram in front of an open fire. The perfect way to end a family feast.
