The Lark Chinotto Cask Limited Release is a highly imaginative, multi-award-winning Tasmanian single malt that bridges old-world Mediterranean flavor profiles with New World distilling craftsmanship. In a moment of experimental creativity, the blending team selected pristine oak casks and liberally seasoned them with Lark's very own, custom-distilled Coal Valley Chinotto—the dark, bittersweet Italian citrus soda famed for its blood orange and cola characteristics. These bespoke barrels were then refilled with the house's signature peated single malt spirit. Bottled at an optimal, non-chill-filtered volume of 44% ABV, this unconventional 500ml release captures an unexpected harmony of vibrant zest and deep earthy smoke

Why Choose LARK Chinotto Citrus Cask?

What sets this Chinotto Cask release apart is its status as a verified global category winner, having secured a staggering 95-point master rank at the International Wine and Spirit Competition. While traditional core portfolios lean on predictable wine finish structures, seasoning timber with bitter orange oils and sassafras completely alters the spirit dynamic. Lark's naturally thick, unctuous viscosity handles the herbal cola-spice accents effortlessly, preventing the citrus sugars from turning jammy or hot on the tongue. Sourced from a strictly managed, fast-moving annual allocation cycle, it serves as a phenomenal conversation piece for high-end bars and a secure asset for contemporary portfolios.
