[66.1%・2 Years and 9 Months Old・Bottled in 2017・Official Bottling・Single Cask Release]
Nose:
Quite tight initially, a bit green with the new make still quite evident. Typical American oak influence combined with the vanilla led by the bourbon cask. Banana essence with a slight oomph of bonfire in time.
Palate & Finish:
Very orange-y and drizzled with lemon oil. A thin brush of vanilla gives way to a buck load of hotness.
Caramel sauce with the dryness and bitterness of the peels coming through, there is a spray of citrus oil to prolong the finish.
Thoughts:
A youthful interpretation of Lark showcasing all the edges. The spirit has seemingly evolved from the more subtle and rounded Larks from a few years ago.
