Lark Distillery’s new handcrafted spirit put name here pays tribute to one of the rarest oaks in the world in a Japanese-inspired cask. 

The whisky uses Mizunara oak, sourced from old-age trees that can take up to 200 years before they are ready. 

The spirit has been distilled to complement the Mizunara Oak and has notes of bright toasted oak, cherry and apple pie, coconut, lychee, guava, pear and fresh apples. 

To create the label design, Lark worked with multi-award-winning Japanese illustrator Yuko Shimizu, who used Tasmania's Mount Wellington as inspiration.  

The cask design incorporates a copper medallion handcrafted from a decommissioned Lark copper pot still. 

There are 845 bottles now available exclusively from Lark Distilling Co for RRP $1000.00 per 700ml bottle.
