Tasmanian Single Malt, bottled 2011, aged in port barrels. 43% alcohol. Lark, Single Malt Whisky
Ross' Notes, Neat
Nose: citrus, caramel, smoke and light peat
1st: smooth with bite, light
2nd: brings on the caramel and peat
3rd: reiteration of the citrus and smoke
Overall: very smooth and complex; undemanding; most enjoyable.
With dash of water:
removes much of the bite
brings out the caramel in the nose and introduces floral notes
becomes very easy to drink
Tristan's Notes, Neat
Nose: Warm, clean, splash of orange and cinnamon, and a hint of chocolate
1st: powerful with bold spices, especially pepper and quite warming
2nd: rising peats, transitionary between 1st and 3rd palates
3rd: "rolling", faint orange, and a hint of "burnt sienna"
Overall: Powerfull hit with a nice rolling finsh. It would be wonderful as a winter scotch fut to it's warmth throughout.
with a few drops of water:
Nose: Fruity and vanilla are the main caharacteristics, with some florals and a warm smoothness
1st: much smoother than neat, with added caramels
2nd: much more of it's own phase with water, including cinnamon and chocolate
3rd: oranges and a peak of pepper, still quite chocolatey but with subtle caramels interwoven with it.
Overall: still a warming winter whiskey with the water, with alot more fruits, caramels and general sweetness
