Drawing inspiration from the Bay of Fires, where fiery sunset-lit lichen sets the rugged shores ablaze, this smooth single malt whisky reveals layers of ripe papaya, maple-glazed almonds, and espresso gelato. The palate deepens with juicy berry compote, buttery shortbread, and sticky fig pudding, culminating in an intricate finish of mulled stone fruit, spice-poached pear, and toasted marzipan.

So, when the dusk falls, unstopper the cork, raise a glass, and toast to the night. To late-night gatherings, to intimate moments, and to all that it heroes.

To create DARK LARK 2025, the LARK team employed a considered maturation strategy. The whisky is initially aged in a selection of port, bourbon, and sherry casks before undergoing a luxurious finishing process in PX and Muscat fortified wine casks. This approach results in an indulgent, multifaceted profile.
