Following on from the sell-out success of the first release, the team at Lark have gone bolder and bigger in every way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to the Club’s long-standing friendship with Lark, Master Distiller Chris Thomson has created this exclusive dram in the style of Lark’s vaunted double-sherried bottlings, using only whisky distilled at the distillery’s original Cambridge site. Famed for its rich, butterscotch-over-citrus character and oily texture, Cambridge-distilled Lark is the kind of spirit that put Tassie whisky on the map and paved the way for the Aussie single malt industry today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the real magic here is in the maturation. Matured in ancient first-fill Apera (Aussie Sherry) casks from Seppeltsfield in the Barossa – including some that are up to \u003cem\u003e80 years old\u003c\/em\u003e, and with an average age of about 50 – it’s a big, luscious throwback to Lark’s formative sherried drams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere’s the breakdown of the Apera \/ Sherry casks used to put this beauty together:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75% Oloroso-style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20% Pedro Ximénez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4% Amontillado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1% Fino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly Lark is often thought to be synonymous with Port cask-matured releases, but their much rarer Sherry cask releases were just as legendary.
