Lark Distillery

Lagavulin Distillery

Aged 16 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1816

This is a great tipple as the weather cools down in the Southern Hemisphere. From Islay with plenty of peat and smokiness. A maritime seaweed note. Some say Laphroaig is even more peaty but for me, the jury is still out on that one. — 8 days ago

Absolutely John. Particularly if you like your Single Malts smoky and peaty which I do.

Larkmead Vineyards

The Lark Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This particular wine is Larkmead’s ‘The Lark’ made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon coming from the excellent 2007 vintage in Napa Valley. It matured 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels before bottling without filtration.

This wine marries power with beauty, given its firm structure and the mellifluous chorus of aromas and flavors such as ripe blackberry, crème de cassis, black cherry, blackcurrant, purple fig, violet, black licorice, anise, fennel, vanilla, clove, cardamom, damp earth, and kalamata olive.

The palate is mouth-coating and smooth, with high, but soft, fine-grained tannins, medium (+) acidity creating balance, and high alcohol. The finish is long.

This is an outstanding wine slowly revealing layers of character as it evolves in the glass. It’s drinking marvelously now, but has life ahead of it yet.

Son’s birthday so pulled out something special. While I think the hype on this is over the top, I managed to get a bottle from Australia so that mitigated some of the craziness. It’s really delicious. Not over powered like many of the cask strength bottles now. Sweet,approachable and his choice over the scotch — a month ago

The nose is fantastic. A butterscotch/caramel that is just so inviting. It’s not think though on the palate. Might even argue it’s thin.
