2026 Limited Edition

Christmas Cask No.125

The 2026 Christmas Cask is the eighth Annual edition and is again a collaboration between three Tasmanian icons - LARK, multi-award-winning winery Frogmore Creek and beloved Hobart patisserie Jean-Pascal.

The story began in 2019 when Frogmore Creek red wine barrels were used to ferment surplus fruit mince pie jus from Jean-Pascal, giving excess ingredients a second life. The jus-seasoned casks are then passed to the LARK blending team, who use them to finish Single Malt Whisky previously matured in Sherry and Port casks.

The result is a distinctly Tasmanian expression of Christmas – one that brings together local produce, craft and an unconventional approach to whisky making. The partnership has continued every year since Christmas Cask’s first release, making No.125 one of LARK’s most anticipated festive traditions.

The wait is almost over. Early access commences on the 21st October at 8am AEDT, and if previous years are anything to go by, it won’t be around for long.

Register now for first access.
