The Lark Mizunara Rare Cask is a one-of-a-kind release in the Rare Cask Series, inspired by the elegance of Japanese whisky and crafted to showcase the extraordinary influence of Mizunara oak. Known as one of the rarest and most expensive oaks in the world, Mizunara trees can take up to 200 years to mature before they are ready to become whisky casks. For this release, Lark’s Head Distiller carefully selected second-fill bourbon casks to ensure a balanced spirit that allows the delicate Mizunara character to shine. Bottled at 49.4% ABV, this rare edition was limited to only 845 bottles, each presented with a handcrafted copper medallion made from a decommissioned Lark pot still and accompanied by a complimentary 100ml bottle. This example is bottle 525 of 845.
