Lark Distillery Sherry Cask Finish (Bottled 2013). Tasmania, Australia. ABV: 58%. Tasted at Yallingup White Tail’s Rest holiday home, $47 (100mL bottle).
Colour: Deep golden syrup.
Nose: Creamy toffee; sticky date pudding. Smells like a honey badger.
Palate: Toasted sweet vanilla flavours. Big warmth, but not overpowering. Very smooth for a dram at 58%.
Finish: Creamy oily mouthfeel. Flavours, spice and heat balanced nicely. Warmth fills the mouth and builds as the flavours very gradually (and unfortunately) begin to subside.
Comments: Wow. Stunning. I could drink this all night, a shame I’ve only got such a small bottle.
