Lark Christmas Cask Release is a yearly tradition by the craftsmen at the Lark distillery. It’s a way of sharing a merry single malt which is full of Christmas spirit. Each year a Tasmanian patisserie selects Tasmanian red wine casks which they fill with fruit jus, they use the jus to make the most delicious fruit mince pies. When the casks are emptied they are transported to the Lark Distillery and filled with some of the best seasonal spirit. This year it was single malt taken from the Old Hobart Distillery, specially selected by the distillers. The casks were filled with the spirit and left to mature resulting in a whisky with the smell of dried dark fruits, festive spices and balanced oak.
