Uncover something extraordinary

LARK RARE CASK SERIES

WELCOME TO THE Rare and Remarkable

The Rare Cask Series is a celebration of Tasmanian whisky both rich in character and heavy with history. It’s an endless pursuit of the abandoned exceptional — combing countries for casks both rare and remarkable.

It’s an exploration of evolution — of new life blossoming within the old, in extraordinary, unmatchable ways. A pursuit for the extraordinary realised through unearthing some of the world’s most rare and storied casks.

The resulting expressions are unique single malt celebrations of character, culture and the particular casks in which they are finished.

On a fine day exploring the Seppeltsfield archives our Head Distiller discovered 16 special tawny port casks from 1992, which then carefully made their way to Tasmania. Rich, deep & incredibly complex, born from the character & history of the 30 year casks this single malt whisky was finished in.

It was on a fine day exploring the Seppeltsfield archives our Head Distiller discovered 16 special tawny port casks from 1992, which then carefully made their way to Tasmania, to finish our famous Tasmanian peated Single Malt. Established in the Barossa in 1851, Seppeltsfield is a treasure trove of fortified wines with an exceptionally rich history. Synonymous with luxury for more than a century, it’s an honour to commemorate Lark’s 30th anniversary with this collaboration.

Rich, deep and incredibly complex, born from the character and history of the 30 year casks this single malt whisky was finished in.

This anniversary set includes a 100ml bottle of Seppeltsfield Vintage 1992 Tawny Para Liqueur (22% ABV).

THE HEART OF JAPAN - THE SOUL OF TASMANIA

Inspired by Bill Lark's journeys to Japan, and meticulously crafted with passion and precision, our Tasmanian Single Malt whisky is finished in rare and precious Mizunara oak casks, embodying a harmonious blend of two esteemed whisky cultures. Renowned for their scarcity and distinctive flavour profile, the Mizunara Rare Cask Series invites you to savour the timeless elegance and unparalleled richness of our craftsmanship, seamlessly blending the heart of Japan with the soul of Tasmania.

Mizunara white oak is highly prized because the cost of logs is quite high since it often takes 200 years or more for a Mizunara tree to mature enough before it can be harvested for cask barrels. The Japanese government also restricts the felling of Mizunara trees under the age of 80, making this type of Japanese oak even more difficult to come by for barrel production.

This necessary passage of time imbues the wood with unique qualities that, in turn, impart extraordinary characteristics to our whisky.

With enticing aromas of sandalwood and notes of fresh peaches and cream and a whisper of coconut, BATCH 001 showcases the exquisite complexity and depth of flavours imparted by Mizunara oak.

LARK Distilling Co. unveils a once-in-a-lifetime Single Malt Whisky experience, introducing LARK Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky finished in 1911 Para Vintage Tawny Cask, part of The Rare and Remarkable Collection.

A testament to LARK’s decades-long partnership with the Barossa’s Seppeltsfield Winery, a rare piece of Australian Whisky history with only 135 bottles available globally. Crafted in exclusive collaboration with the prestigious Seppeltsfield Winery in the Barossa, LARK Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky finished in 1911 Para Vintage Tawny Cask is an integral part of LARK’s esteemed Rare and Remarkable Collection.

This exceptional Single Malt Whisky is finished in a single barrel that recently held Centennial Collection Tawny, preserving a precious parcel from the 1911 vintage. The result is a rich and complex whisky that dances on the senses. From toffee and aged oak combined with fresh floral pear and a touch of chocolate orange on the nose, to rich fruit cake and caramel, with hints of blackcurrant and developing lychee on the palate.

This rich and layered whisky, from Australia’s No.1 luxury Single Malt brand, is crafted from a considered blend of a Coal River Valley Distillery 13-year-old ex-Bourbon with cask, and a classic LARK-style Sherry matured whisky, together finished in the iconic cask that once held Seppeltsfield Para Vintage Tawny, from the Barossa from the 1911 vintage.

Founder, Bill Lark proudly comments: “It is everything I could want a beautifully rich and elegant Lark whisky to be. The whisky is balanced and refined, taking on the best cask characters, whilst allowing the malt spirit to shine. A remarkable marriage of casks, producing a remarkable whisky, which is unmistakeably Lark.”

Commenting on this rare collector’s item, LARK Master Blender Chris Thomson says, “The release of this Single Malt is a monumental moment for LARK and a cherished offering for whisky enthusiasts. We embarked on this journey with the commitment to create something uniquely unforgettable – the ultimate collector's item. Our partnership with Seppeltsfield Winery granted us access to some of the world's rarest fortified wines, and we unearthed these Tawny casks from Seppeltsfield’s treasure trove of Centennial Cellar fortified in the Barossa.”
