Rare Cask Para Vintage
Rich, deep and incredibly complex, born from the character and history of the 1992 Para Vintage Tawny Casks. This Single Malt carries the essence of two legendary landscapes - the historic vineyards of South Australia and Tasmania’s wild, untamed spirit.
Born from the character and history of 1992 Seppeltsfield casks.
Rich, deep and incredibly complex
For over a century, Seppeltsfield Wines in the Barossa Valley has nurtured what many consider the crown jewel of Australian fortified wine: the Centennial Collection, an unbroken lineage of single-vintage tawny dating all the way back to 1878. The estate’s historic cellars brim with casks that have held decades, even a century, of Port, Tawny, Apera and Tokay, each one a reservoir of deep flavour and remarkable liquid history.
These rare Seppeltsfield barrels, selected not just for age but for the story they carry, are at the heart of LARK's celebrated Rare Cask Series. Each drop reflects the deep complexity, silky richness and fortified depth that only these historic barrels can impart.
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. Aged in first-fill Tawny, Apera, and Bourbon casks before being finished in rare 1992 Para Vintage Tawny casks, this Single Malt Whisky carries the essence of two legendary landscapes- the historic vineyards of South Australia and Tasmania’s wild, untamed spirit.
A rare whisky experience shaped by unique fortified casks, crafted with mastery, and destined to be savoured. Rich, deep and incredibly complex, born from the character and history of the 1992 Para Vintage Tawny Casks.
