Born from fire and fervour, Tasmanian Peated shows that where there's smoke, there's feeling. This is a new frontier, Tasmania's own peat bog and post malt smoking process, creates a lightly peated whisky for a bold palate.
A taste of the Tasmanian spirit. A delicately smoky dram to ignite the senses. Embark on a journey through the rugged depths of Tasmania, where enticing hints of woodsmoke dance on beautifully pristine air. This special single malt starts where Lark's Central Highlands peat bog and the wild landscape meet.
A wonderfully warming drop for the bold palate, where earthy peat and delicate florals transport you to the untamed. Enjoy neat by the crackle of a roaring fire, or elevate your favourite cocktail with a delicate touch of smoke.
Post malt smoking is quite unique in the whisky world. Traditionally the barley is kiln dried after the malting process. The barley arrives at the Lark Tasmanian distillery already malted, so theirs is a process of post malt smoking. They smoke 2 tons of malted barley with 100kg of their very own peat over an extended period. This style of peat smoked barley imparts a different flavour profile than traditionally peated whisky. Expect more chocolate and earthy roasted coffee notes to come through.
