The latest release in Lark Distilling Co’s single malt whisky Rare Cask Series is a partnership with Seppeltsfield. The Rare Cask Para 92 was finished in vintage Seppeltsfield Para Tawny casks from 1992, celebrating Lark’s first distillation 30 years ago.

The result is a rich, deep, and complex character, born from the aged casks.

Lark founder Bill Lark said, “This is a release we want to be celebrated and enjoyed with a limited number of bottles released from today.
“The PARA Tawny casks were complex and offered a depth and character that have made this release so special. The result is long and sticky oak sweetness, perfect for those wanting to enjoy as we roll into Autumn.”

With only 3000 bottles available, the single malt is rich and sweet on the nose, with hints of berry custard and scorched nuts, followed by new leather and pipe tobacco. The remarkable heritage of the oak that once held the 30-year-old Seppeltsfield Para Tawny creates delightful chapters of mouth-watering complexity.

Founded in 1992 by pioneer Bill Lark, Lark Distilling has been leading the charge in the Australian whisky revolution for 30 years. Lark Distilling houses a range of spirits headlined by its single malt whiskies, including the Classic Cask 43% and Cask Strength 58%. They also produce a range of Forty Spotted Gins, and handcrafted Tasmanian spirits and liqueurs, such as the Quiet Cannon Rum and XO Brandy.

Para 92 is available directly from Lark Distilling for RRP $499.99.

The AFGC has welcomed government progress towards implementing clear, integrated and consistent changes to packaging across Australia, but says greater clarity is needed on design standards.

It’s been a tumultuous yet progressive year in packaging in Australia, with highs and lows playing out against a backdrop of uncertainty caused in part by the dangling sword of DCCEEW’s proposed Packaging Reform, and in part by the mounting pressure of rising manufacturing costs.
