The Lark story is not so much about the distillery but the man behind he distillery and for that matter behind the seed of Australian Whisky distilling as we know it today.
Bill Lark realised that that everything you need for a world-class whisky was in Tasmania – rich fields of barley, an abundance of wonderfully pure soft water, highland peat bogs, and the perfect climate to bring all the ingredients together in a marriage of science, art and passion. The vision of producing Tasmanian malt whisky was born on a trout fishing trip in the highlands of Tasmania. Bill’s father in-law Max produced a wonderful bottle of single malt, and as they enjoyed a drink in the park at Bothwell, surrounded by Georgian buildings, barley fields and the gentle flowing of the Clyde River, Bill remarked to Max, “I wonder why there isn’t anyone making malt whisky in Tasmania”.
Inspired by one of the greatest flavour pairings of all time, Rum and Raisin, this unique single malt will have you daydreaming of shipwrecks on remote sun-swept islands in no time.
Casks of ex-Bourbon, ex-Sherry and White Oak were chosen from our Bothwell Distillery to form a bright and luscious fruit-filled base, which was finished in equal parts ex-Seppeltsfield PX Sherry and ex-Lark Quiet Cannon Rum casks. This duo of cask favourites sees surprising notes of dried papaya and Quiet Cannon rum collide with deep forest fruits, cherries, and plum pudding before finally giving way to an incredibly fresh and complex finish.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Tropical fruits of mango and dried papaya, Valencia oranges and tangerine dance on the nose with an underlying hints of char and forest fruits.
Palate: Orchard fruits of ripe apples and peaches, caramelised mango, dried papaya, ripe black cherries, plum pudding, blonde toffee and stewed apricots.
Finish: Long with fresh notes of citrus and tropical fruits, well balanced and exciting.
