Matured in 100L ex-Porter casks, this limited release from Lark Distillery is bottled at cask strength, 54% ABV. The whisky began in Lark whisky casks that were shipped to Victoria, where they aged Wolf of the Willows’ Imperial Johnny Smoked Porter. These seasoned casks were then returned to Tasmania and refilled with Lark single malt, creating a uniquely layered and smoky whisky. Only 687 bottles were produced.
This bottle is number 261 of 687.
