The Lark Distillery Port Cask Finish (Bottled 2013). Tasmania, Australia. ABV: 43%. Tasted at Yallingup White Tail’s Rest holiday home, $40 (100mL bottle).
Colour: Bright toffee.
Nose: Not as sweet as the sherry matured Lark we just tried. Vanilla, cocoa & faint tobacco.
Palate: Toasted dried fruit flavours. A lot softer than the sherry matured Lark.
Finish: Soft pepper, soft sweet notes too. Medium length, a little drier than the sherry dram.
Comments: It’s ok, in fact it’s quite decent. But after the sherry dram raised expectations very high it makes it a little hard to live up to those.
