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!

Lark Head Distiller’s Release (created exclusively for The Whisky Club). Tasmania, Australia. ABV: 45.6%. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $135 (bottle).

Colour: Slightly dulled copper pipe.

Nose: Blackcurrant Soother’s, treacle and hessian sacks.

Palate: Raisins, worn leather, toasted oak, ginger.

Finish: Moderately oily mouthfeel, short-to-medium length. Melted butter and juicy blueberries. Soft tannins and damp woody notes in the fade.

Comments: The Lark Head Distiller’s Release comprises of whisky matured in 100L ex port and ex Sherry casks, then married together. A very tasty whisky with lots going on, but it’s almost a bit too much happening…like your taste buds have spun the flavour wheel of fortune a little too hard.
