Exclusively from the House of LARK, home to Australia’s No.1 Luxury Single Malt Whisky, DARK LARK 2024 emerges as the torchbearer in the New World of Whisky, designed to ignite the night. Best savored with friends, neat, on the rocks, or in an after-dark cocktail, this whisky is crafted to stir curiosity and creativity with every sip. DARK LARK embodies the adventurous spirit that has propelled Tasmania’s LARK to global acclaim since Bill and Lyn Lark crafted the first bottle of single malt whisky at their kitchen table in 1992. This whisky is a divergence from tradition, meant to be enjoyed in a multitude of ways.
The 2024 edition of DARK LARK is renowned for its smooth yet complex flavour profile, showcasing Tasmania’s awe-inspiring terroir. The artwork for this year’s limited release features the enchanting Aurora Australis, capturing the ephemeral, celestial beauty best witnessed from Tasmania. As with this rare light show, each bottle of DARK LARK offers an experience that is both elusive and enchanting, with its warm purples and greens playing across your senses.
Uncorking a bottle of DARK LARK 2024 reveals evocative aromas of mocha and sultanas, layered with light oak spice and a hint of cherry. The palate is a symphony of flavours: white peach enveloped in crème brûlée, rich blackcurrant crumble, honeycomb, and caramelised pineapple. Millie Tang, Australia’s No.1 bartender and DARK LARK ambassador, remarks, “DARK LARK is whisky done differently. It belongs in cocktails, on ice, and most importantly, in moments shared after dark.”
LARK Master Blender Chris Thomson adds, “After dark, extraordinary awaits with an unexpectedly smooth single malt that oozes character. DARK LARK is a striking symbol of Tasmania’s unique terroir and commands the room from 9 PM to midnight, on your own terms.”
Available from May 15, 2024, DARK LARK Single Malt Whisky retails at $250 for a 500mL bottle, presented in a luxurious gift box. With an ABV of 43%, this whisky promises layers of vibrant tropical notes intertwined with rich mocha and caramel. Matured in Sherry, Port, and white oak casks, and finished in Tokay and Muscat casks, DARK LARK defies traditional whisky conventions.
