Description:
The 4th release in Lark’s Rare Cask Series, this single malt is inspired by the elegance of Japanese whisky, crafted using Mizunara oak, one of the rarest and most expensive oaks in the world. Lark’s Head Distiller has carefully selected second fill bourbon casks from their Bothwell Distillery, ensuring a precise and mature spirit which subtly influences the oak, so that the rare Mizunara Oak shines through, from cask to glass.

Mizunara Oak is one of the rarest and most expensive oaks in the world. It can take up to 200 years for this rare tree to suitably mature to be ready for the perfect whisky cask because both trunk and branches twist and turn.

Each purchase includes a complimentary 100ml bottle, convenient for those who may want to leave their big bottle as a collectable. The copper medallion included around the neck of the bottle, meticulously handcrafted from a decommissioned Lark copper pot still, is a repurposed remnant of Lark’s rich and exciting history. A captivating marriage of old and new.
