One of Lark’s highest rated whiskies to date, Lark's Head Distiller, Chris Thomson kick started the Muscat Cask journey when he stumbled upon a treasured collection of fortified wine casks in the Barossa in 2019. Besides old oak port and sherry casks, Thomson was able to dig out ex-muscat casks which he considered the perfect finisher for the malt in question. “It was an amazing honour for this whisky to be awarded Gold at IWSC and we’re expecting this release to sell out fast”, said Thomson. 347 bottles made up the 2020 release, which quickly sold out. 46% Alc./Vol. One only available.
Notes from the producers... a nose of apples dipped in toffee, with clove-studded oranges in mulled wine and the unmistakable aroma of a peat fire. The palate starts with reflections of a Tassie summer with peaches, barley harvests, orange sorbet, and grape juice. The finish is built by grapes dipped in syrup and Lark’s usual rounded body of peat.
