Best thing to come from down under since Crocodile Dundee.
We are accustomed to hearing about small-batch distillers in the South … but not like this. Lark Distillery is from waaaaaaaay south. In fact, if you try to go any further south you will end up in Antarctica. Lark Distillers is in Tasmania, the southernmost island state of Australia. Way back in 1992, Bill Lark was fishing with his in-laws while sipping a fine single malt Whisky … because that is what you should do, right? Anyway, he was enjoying a dram and looked around to see barley fields on one side and a large peat bog on the other. The rest is history.
Lark Rum Cask Finish is their famous Tasmanian single malt Whisky, but after its initial aging they toss it into those Rum casks for a bit longer to squeeze out some flavour. The result is wonderful. The Rum casks mellow the Whisky even more and add a salted-caramel flavor that really matches up nicely, making the spirit richer and yummier.
