2015 Berry Bros. & Rudd Lark, Cask Ref. LD1297, Single Malt Whisky, Tasmania, Australia (60.1%)

Description

This is quite simply stunning. On very rare occasions, upon pouring a sample, the act of raising to the nose just abruptly halts the passage of time. This gorgeous single cask from Tasmania’s iconic Lark intermingles lashings of dried brown fruits with opulently spicy oak and an extraordinary barley bouillon richness. The overall intensity is extremely high, with my preferred point of balance being after the addition of a drop or two of water. As chewy as the finest childhood toffees, moreishly grippy with tannins and barrelling through with a dry finish that reminds me of the very best well-aged Barleywines. A wondrous pairing for either nutty-gooey desserts or a cheese and charcuterie board, this is savoury modern whisky at its rumbustious best.

About this spirit

Lark Distillery

Lark Distillery was founded in 1992 by Bill Lark, the godfather of Australian craft distilling, and without whom the burgeoning Australian Whisky revolution may simply not have even begun. Lark is famous for its experimentation with yeast and barley. Undoubtedly one of the Grand Crus of the global whisky movement, independent bottlings of Lark are exceptionally rare.

Australia

Australia

Australia has come to represent the most 'successful' New World producer to date, the benchmark by which competitor winemaking nations have come to judge themselves. However it’s been achieved not without significant cost to an industry that has been forced to consolidate in ever-decreasing circles to keep the wheels from falling off the Brand Australia juggernaut: in 2003-2004, 20 businesses accounted for 86 percent of all production.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
