Lark Hall of Fame Limited Release Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky - Historic

$1,950 AUD
66% ABV
500 ml
 
An iconic whisky for a whisky icon is how best to describe this very special release for a very special whisky personality, as recognised by WHISKY MAGAZINE when they inducted Bill Lark into their Whisky Hall of Fame in March, 2015.
 
Bill was only the 7th person outside of the traditional whisky producing countries of Scotland and Ireland to be so honoured and the first in the Southern Hemisphere.
 
Always up for a challenge, to mark the occasion Bill hand selected a 200L ex- Heaven Hill Bourbon cask (no LD543) the contents of which were then finished in a 90  - yes 90 – years old Seppeltsfield Para port cask. Unfiltered and at cask strength was the end product in the bottle at a whacking 66%. Only 220 bottles eventually emerged.
 
Official Tasting Notes
 
Colour: Golden Syrup.
Nose: Vanilla, fresh oak, orange peel,  ginger and dark fruits are enveloped with a wisp of charcoal and smoke.

Distillery

Lark Distillery

 

Mention Tasmanian whisky and the name Lark immediately comes to mind. After all, the Lark family, led by Bill Lark, have been at it since 1992.

Under new ownership Lark Distillery’s product is taking on a rather different character which is leading to higher volume, wider distribution and lower prices.

We wish the new-look Lark well, but as true friends of the original Lark and its followers, we herewith provide a unique selection of dearly departed Lark expressions whose scarcity is on an ever-upwards trajectory. We also offer carefully selected independent bottlings of early Lark, most notably under the Heartwood label.
