Originally launched in 2021 as a highly anticipated sequel, this rare expression stands as arguably the world’s first \"Triple Sherry Cask\" single malt. The spirit undergoes a multi-phased cellaring narrative: it was initially matured in first-fill ex-sherry casks at the brand's Cambridge Distillery before being transferred to a complex finishing marriage inside premium, hand-selected Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry Butts sourced straight from Seppeltsfield in South Australia. Non-chill filtered and drawn at a powerful strength of 51% ABV, the run was capped at a strict allocation of just 2,200 bottles worldwide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLark Sherry Aged \u0026amp; Sherry Finished Release II Tasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNose: A wonderfully full, sweet, and highly aromatic greeting filled with dried figs, glace orange slices, fresh tiramisu, roasted hazelnuts, and chocolate-covered candied ginger.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-pl=\"||[]\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalate: An oily, velvety mouthfeel delivering immediate layers of sticky sherry, sweet spiced oak, juicy muscatels, and honeyed almonds, followed by a sudden wave of fresh salinity and grapefruit acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-pl=\"||[]\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish: An exceptionally long-lasting, grand, and woody conclusion leaving behind notes of dark chocolate, old saddle leather, raisins, and candied peel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Add Lark Sherry Aged \u0026amp; Sherry Finished Release II To Your Collection?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat sets Release II apart from entry-level single malts is its incredible, concentrated layer of flavor density achieved through extensive triple-wood contact. While high-volume commercial distilleries typically blend distinct profiles to mute powerful traits, Lark's blending team deliberately built a \"sherry bomb\" that highlights rich rancio depth, old saddle leather, and heavy dark chocolate complexities. The 51% bottling proof operates as an outstanding flavor vehicle, maintaining an unctuous, syrupy consistency that handles a few drops of water beautifully. Having cleared out from primary retail hubs years ago, this 2,200-bottle micro-batch represents a secure, high-value milestone for serious New World whisky portfolios\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLark Distillery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLark Distillery, officially established in 1992 by visionary Bill Lark in Hobart, stands as the founding pioneer and undisputed monarch of the modern Australian craft whisky industry. Single-handedly overturning a century of restrictive distillation laws to ignite the Tasmanian spirits boom, the historic house distinguishes itself through its absolute dedication to local provenance, utilizing pristine local water, premium cool-climate barley, and unique regional peat bogs. Operating out of world-class facilities across the Coal River Valley and Bothwell, the blending team relies heavily on seasoned, small-scale fortified wine and experimental partner casks to forge a rich, oily, and intensely flavor-forward character. Revered as an icon of New World innovation and a dominant force at major global competitions, Lark remains the defining benchmark for premium southern hemisphere distilling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51945988686112,"sku":null,"price":249.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0232\/3232\/files\/LarkSherryagedandSherryFinishedII-3.png?v=1783325464","url":"https:\/\/whisky.estate\/products\/lark-sherry-aged-sherry-finished-release-ii-australian-single-malt-whisky-500ml","provider":"Whisky Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
