Australia s Lark Distillery Offers Up High End Rare Cask PARA100 Whisky
Australia’s Lark Distillery Offers Up High End Rare Cask PARA100 Whisky
Australia-based Lark Distillery recently announced a new addition to its Rare Cask Series, PARA100 (56.3% ABV).
The single malt release has been finished in casks that once held 100-year-old Seppeltsfield Para Vintage Tawny, believed to be the world’s only unbroken lineage of single vintage wines spanning more than 130 consecutive vintages. Before spending its time in the unique cask, the spirit spent roughly five years hopping between ex-Port, ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks.
Official tasting notes describe a nose that is rich and sticky, with hints of treacle pudding, brandied custard and wood-fired raisin brad, that lead into a sweet cherry and oak with undertones of saddle leather and fresh tobacco on the palate. A long finish of cocoa nibs, coffee, blackberry jam and dark fruit cake complete the bottling.

Elizabeth Hunn s story is one of spirit … or perhaps spirits.
After more than 40 years of nursing, she took a chance quitting to become a fulltime artist and distiller.
She tried to enrol in a landscape painting class when she was 50, but it was full. They suggested I do a portrait class instead so, from the very first class, I was so excited and I knew that this is what I wanted to do, she said. So then I just practised and practised and practised.
