Description
Founded in 1992 by Bill Lark, the godfather of Australian craft distilling, Lark is famous for its experimentation with yeast and barley. Undoubtedly one of the Grands Crus of the global whisky movement, independent bottlings of Lark are exceptionally rare.
This is a vatting of three 100-litre casks, married especially for Berry Bros. & Rudd. Citrus fruits abound on the nose, giving way to softer fruits, such as peach and apricot, and aromas suggestive of an older whisky – leather and a touch of tobacco. The palate is powerful yet subtle, with notes of vanilla and spice from its hot climate maturation. But behind this, there are layers of complex fruits and malty notes: lychee, strawberry jam and jackfruit. The finish would suggest a much older whisky, with musty fruity notes lingering long on the back palate. A joy to drink, or stash in the cellar for years to come.

About this spirit
Lark Distillery
Australia
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.
