Lark is taking us to the deepest end of the flavour spectrum with Ruby Abyss No.285, a crowning jewel in their luxury signature range. This isn't just whisky; it’s a time capsule matured in 100% first-fill Seppeltsfield Port and Sherry casks, including legendary parcels from 100-year-old Australian Port reserves. On the nose, it’s all decadent steeped pears, caramelised Demerara sugar, and a faint whisper of salted macadamia. The palate is where the "abyss" opens up—think lush plum preserve swirled through dark chocolate sauce and buttery croissant layers, all anchored by a delicate drift of earthy Tasmanian peat smoke. It finishes with a velvety, umami-driven depth of spiced golden treacle and candied quince. It’s a bold, contemplative dram that showcases why the Coal River Valley remains the heart of Australian distilling excellence.
