Episode 02: Lark Classic Cask.
Whisky Warrant Notes:
Appearance: Muscat in colour, suggesting a decent level of cask influence. The legs are moderately slow.
Aroma: There’s a gentle sweetness of stone fruit and fresh orange citrus, backed by light butterscotch with a hint of nutmeg.
Flavour: On the palate, it comes across clean. Fruity up front, with orange citrus and stewed apples, shifting to soft spice and light oak with toffee and burnt caramel.
Finish: The finish is moderate, it doesn’t linger too long. Clean and slightly warming.
Final Note: This sits… Dived 🤿.
Balanced and approachable, but not pushing into deeper complexity.
The Classic Cask is a solid representation of founder Bill Lark’s influence on Australian whisky and worth exploring.
