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.

Enticing flavours of freshly baked apple pie, creamy French vanilla slice, and sweet incense. Batch 02 unfolds on the palate with a lingering hint of affogato, fragrant tobacco, and a rich finish of buttery oak spice..

A TASTING JOURNEY WITH BILL AND CHRIS

A luxurious whisky that's elegant in it's nature

200 YEAR OLD MIZUNARA OAK

"The fact that we're using 200 year old oak, it's very much sought after and reserved for very special whiskies, so it's a very proud moment to see how LARK Single Malt works so well alongside Mizunara." - Bill Lark

"It did take us four years, since our 2021 release to secure these barrels. They are incredibly rare, and they are incredibly sought after and for me this is a truly unique whisky experience, like no other whisky on the planet, an absolutely sensational drinking experience." - Chris Thomson

"The first thing that really hits home with me is the nose, I've never had a whisky with such a beautiful; rich, rounded nose that is so complex I find it hard to describe. There are all those lovely fruity spicy notes that you expect from Mizunara. It leads you into tasting it and builds beautifully across the palate. I describe this whisky as being elegant in it's nature, it's the sort of whisky when i have one dram, i want to keep having another." - Bill Lark

"What I love about how all of it comes together, the richness of LARK's spirit, a little bit of LARK's peat smoke from our very own highland peat moor. And it just comes together in this beautiful warming sensation, it just lifts off the palate and it keeps going and rolling and rolling. It's such a luscious finish, i'm so happy with it." - Chris Thomson, LARK Head Distiller and Master Blender

Delicate, viscous and creamy.
