The Lark Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz Rare Cask 2021 is the third release in Lark’s celebrated Rare Cask Series, a limited edition of only 505 bottles. This single malt was initially matured at Lark’s Coal Valley Distillery before being expertly finished in two casks that previously held Brokenwood’s legendary Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, sourced from the Hunter Valley. Bottled at 51% ABV, this release perfectly unites the richness of Tasmanian single malt with the depth and vibrancy of Australia’s most iconic shiraz. Each bottle was accompanied by a 100ml sample, with this example being bottle 420 of 505.
