Chinotto Cask II Release
Whisky 500ml/100ml
Highland peat married with bitter sweet citrus cola; it's a classic flavour with all the romance of southern Italy. Bitter toffee and smoked orange roll off the tongue with every sip, this 2022 Chinotto Release is a vivacious single malt living up to its namesake in every way.
Lark Whisky casks were liberally seasoned with our own handcrafted Coal Valley Chinotto, meticulously distilled and aged with the same love and patience as the original 2021 Release which was awarded a 95 at the International Wine and Spirits Competition.
This experimental single malt is best enjoyed neat or over ice - with a flavour profile this sublime, no other ingredients are necessary.
Salute!

Tasting Notes
Nose
Orange citrus leads, while peat smoke lift the aroma and intertwine with hints of toasted coconut and floral lemon.
Palate
Slight bitter toffee and smoked citrus arrive with vivacious ginger confectionery and milk chocolate.
Finish
A long sweet smoke, interlaced with a light oak and jaffa cake influence.
Our most experimental single malt yet.
Chinotto Cask Release is testament to Lark's continued dedication to creating the world's most innovative whisky. Born in the 1950's, Chinotto is Italy's most beloved sparkling drink, with distinct bitter orange flavours from the citrus oils of the myrtle-leaved Chinotto oranges of sun-kissed Southern Italy. We created our very own Chinotto at our Tasmanian distillery, which we have used to liberally season our casks, resulting in a single malt bursting with Italian citrus and all the romance of a Tuscan holiday.
Enjoy neat, with ice, or with as a Chinotto Cask Manhattan.
Chinotto Cask Manhattan:
60ml Lark Chinotto Cask
