Lark Distilling Co. Launches Unique Chinotto Cask
/Tasmania’s Lark Distilling Co. has unveiled its one of a kind single-malt whisky, Chinotto Cask. Distilled with all of the highest quality, local produce thatTasmania has to offer, Chinotto is unique for its unexpected twist featuring the Italian carbonated beverage, Chinotto.
On a brisk Tasmanian afternoon, Head Distiller Chris Thomson was sampling a range of house-made single-malts when one dram, in particular, transported him back to a time where a friend introduced him to the cola-reminiscent beverage. Thomson was overcome with a wave of experimentation and creativity, which prompted him to work with a local producer, OSARE, to pair an elegant single-malt whisky with this rich and effervescent drink.
This limited release isn’t afraid to break the rules. On the nose, you’ll be greeted with fresh vanilla beans, barley wine and scrumptious malted milkshakes. On the palate, hints of charred citrus and cinnamon come into play with nodes of wattleseed and cola.To finish, delighted tastebuds will be met with indulgent and sweet coffee, tingling cola as well as lingering orange oil and dark chocolate.
Founded in 1992 by pioneer Bill Lark, Lark Distilling has been leading the charge in the Australian whisky revolution for almost 30 years. Lark Distilling houses a range of spirits headlined by its single malt whiskies, including the Classic Cask 43% and Cask Strength 58% and its unique blended-malt whisky, SYMPHONY No.1.
