Whiskies Of The Week
David Baker presents a blinder...
Bill Lark pulls out a pearler...
And Yes! It's an Aussie show this week.

  I was recently fortunate enough to have tasted some of the current bottlings from Lark & Bakery Hill Distilleries.  And the two I've picked out for this weeks WoW are just puerly & simply, very, very splendid.

Bakery Hill Peated Malt 500ml 46% 
I never thought I would say this about an Aussie malt...but this is a masterpiece. Soft, pulpy, subtle fruitiness, sweet vanilla oak and then you notice the peat sitting underneath. A distant bonfire, dry and tangy, that works really well with this malt's quite sweet & rich palate. It's very long with (once again) a smoky tanginess that hangs around for ages. Brilliant stuff and a credit to David's distilling & maturation skills.

Lark LD57 Cask Strength 500ml 58% 
Hang onto your seats, hold the buses, and take a deep breathe and wait for it: This is the best Lark single malt I've ever seen!  I'm no fan of small cask maturation, but LD57 is a marvel. The oak is just so sweetly perfumed (French oak port cask), and sits perfectly well with the underlying biscuit maltiness. This is a driven malt though. The spirit is strong, very intensive, nervy in fact, but it just keeps in balance as both the oak and malt combination is so very sweet and so very luscious. In fact barley sugar & toffee sweet. The palate is long, the flavours lasting. Lark at his best.

Very Special Price For Members
(very limited supply until stocks runout)

I'll let you be the judge, but I reckon this Lag DE is a little ripper!

My current release of this most impressive Islay whisky is where a slightly younger Lagavulin spirit is poured it into some used PX (very sweet) sherry casks for extra maturation. The sweetly raisined fruit works so well with the big blast of peat. And best of all, it is one of the few spirits that perfectly matches those amazing 99% pure cocoa chocolates.

 Very Special Price of $145.00 ea!

Now That's Different!
Blackadder International
Amrut Peat 700ml

Now here's a turn up for the books. The first independent bottling of India’s famous Amrut single malt whisky.

And it's peated! Amrut whiskies are highly aromatic, very fruity, peaty, clean and impressive and this bottling does not disappoint. There's plenty of peat reek, alcohol attack that adds intensity to a well textured palate. A must try from the masters of Bangalore whisky. Robin's notes: Nose: Deep warm smoky peat with brown sugar and very malty. Taste: Lots of glycerin at first. Very malty with dry smoky peat, marzipan and lots of dark chocolate. Finish: Long and warm with smoky chocolate peat left behind on the tail. Notes: If you love peated whisky this is definitely one for you. This Amrut was peated at 24ppm.
