Whisky #596: Lark Christmas Cask Release III Single Malt
by
Lark Christmas Cask Release III Single Malt (2021 release). Tasmania, Australia. ABV: 46%. Tasted at Crown Towers Sydney.
Colour: Burnished bronze.
Nose: Mandarin peel, ginger cake, cloves and cinnamon.
Palate: Gingerbread pudding, cloves, dark honey, and black tea leaves. Fresh and zesty with burnt mandarin peel.
Finish: Fresh orange peel and ginger nut biscuits to fade.
Comments: They’ve nailed it, this really is Christmas in a glass. Ginger for days along with citrus and all the good Christmas spices. It’s not an everyday drinking dram or even one that you’d drink all night, but as a special occasion for ending Christmas night this is pretty hard to beat.
Merry Christmas to you all, may Santa bring you some special whisky to fill your glass!
