A striking cask-strength single-cask release from Tasmania, Heart of Darkness was distilled at Lark and bottled by Heartwood. Drawn from Oloroso sherry cask LD567, it was filled with peated spirit in August 2009 and bottled in September 2017, yielding just 260 bottles. A powerful, collectible Heartwood that captures the meeting of rich sherry oak and smoky Tasmanian malt.
Heartwood is a cult Tasmanian independent bottler founded by Tim Duckett, renowned for sourcing standout Australian casks and bottling them at natural strength with zero compromise. Releases are small, intense, and highly sought after for their transparency, provenance, and unforgettable flavour.
Nose: Dark dried fruits, treacle, cocoa, polished oak, and smouldering peat.
Palate: Viscous and bold with sherried richness—raisins, fig jam, dark chocolate—wrapped in earthy smoke and warming spice.
Finish: Long, warming, and drying with lingering ash, leather, and spiced fruit.
Single Oloroso cask, peated Lark spirit, natural high ABV, and a tiny 260-bottle outturn make this a quintessential Heartwood—intense, rare, and deeply expressive. It’s a snapshot of modern Australian whisky history from two Tasmanian icons in one bottle.
