Tasting Profile:
Nose: Earthy and captivating, aromas of campfire smoke, roasted malt, and leather intertwine with notes of vanilla, honey, and baked apple. There’s a coastal freshness that gives the smoke a clean, lifted character.
Palate: Bold yet balanced. Waves of peat, toffee, and spice unfold into flavors of burnt sugar, oak, and citrus zest. The smoke feels structured, wrapping around the sweetness rather than overpowering it, distinctly Lark in its refinement.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming. Lingering notes of ash, honeycomb, and soft oak taper off beautifully, leaving a memory of the Tasmanian wilderness in every breath.

Production Details:
This whisky begins with Tasmanian barley, malted using peat sourced from Lark’s own peat bogs in the Central Highlands, an earthy, aromatic peat that imparts depth without heaviness. The spirit is distilled in copper pot stills and matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, enhancing its balance between smoke and sweetness. The result is a peated whisky that’s unmistakably Tasmanian: natural, vibrant, and masterfully crafted.

Perfect For:
Perfect for those who love the drama of peat but appreciate finesse and subtlety. Imagine a cool night by the fire, the scent of smoke in the air, and a glass of this in hand, it’s whisky for thinkers, storytellers, and explorers who want their drink to echo the land it came from.

Expert Notes:
Critics often describe Lark Tasmanian Peated as “the gentler side of smoke”, elegant, balanced, and beautifully textured. It delivers depth and complexity without the sharpness of traditional Islay peat, making it an exceptional choice for both peat lovers and those newly exploring smoky drams.

Customer Reviews:
“A revelation, smoky but graceful, with a warmth that feels alive.”
“The perfect balance between campfire and caramel. A masterpiece from Lark.”
“Subtle, sweet, and smoky, you can taste the Tasmanian landscape in it.”

Interesting Fact:
Tasmania’s peat is completely unique, formed from ancient, untouched wetlands fed by rainwater and native vegetation. Its smoke is softer and sweeter than Scottish peat, giving Lark Tasmanian Peated its distinct flavor signature.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water to open up the floral and citrus notes behind the smoke. For a fireside twist, pair it with dark chocolate, roasted almonds, or even chargrilled meats to highlight its earthy sweetness.
