Australia

Colour Autumn vine leaves

Nose An explosion of white fruit and vanilla; peach, pear, apple and grape, fading into barley fields and earth

Palate Creamy, mouth-wateringly fruity and expertly weighted with viscous layers of grape, peach and apple, while delicate notes of orange oil and butterscotch make way for vibrant citrus and toasted oak notes

Finish Long, almost bubbly and effervescent, with hints of buttery caramel and spiced fruit.

Food Match Fresh Tassie oysters, natural.

Overview

After whetting your appetite with our exclusive Port and Sherry cask matured masterpiece from Lark last month, now’s time for the big show. The Godfather of Aussie whisky, Bill Lark and Lark Head Distiller Chris Thomson have one more surprise for the Club - the Head Distiller’s Release Second Edition, Finished in Sparkling Wine Casks.

Perfectly weighted at 48%ABV it’s an explosion of white fruit and vanilla on the Nose, toasted oak and viscous layers of grape, peach and apple on the Palate, and Finishing long, almost bubbly and effervescent, with hints of buttery caramel and spiced fruit.
