- / per
The Lark Ruby Abyss No. 285 is a highly indulgent, opulent single malt Tasmanian whisky that anchors the brand's premium Signature Collection. Within Lark's unique blending system, the classification "No. 285" serves as the official recipe language, outlining the precise mashing and distillation blueprint behind the liquid. Sourced as a highly complex, flavour-forward allocation, the spirit is matured entirely inside first-fill vintage Seppeltsfield Port and Sherry casks. To introduce a profound textural depth, the assembly incorporates rare parcels drawn from century-old Australian Port reserves seasoned within LARK's solera framework. Cut with a delicate kiss of traditional Tasmanian peat smoke, this 700ml bottling is housed in an elegant clear glass base paired with an artistic, multi-colored bird-themed gift container

Founded in 1992 by Bill Lark, often hailed as the “Godfather of Australian Whisky,” Lark Distillery has become a pioneer of the modern Tasmanian whisky movement. Based in the Coal River Valley, Lark is celebrated for its innovative use of casks, careful small-batch production, and distinctive house style, which balances rich fruit, spice, and a subtle influence of Tasmanian peat. Today, Lark continues to push boundaries with limited editions like Dark Lark, while remaining true to the craftsmanship that established it as one of Australia’s most iconic distilleries.
What positions Ruby Abyss No. 285 as an indispensable masterpiece for world spirits investors is its extraordinary wood pedigree and unctuous weight. By partnering directly with Seppeltsfield, the blending team secures direct access to historic fortified pipes dating back over a hundred years. This extensive wood history forces an incredible structural triangle of sweetness, umami, and plush silkiness onto the spirit, generating dark fruit and mocha characteristics that modern automated lines cannot emulate. The inclusion of subtle peat elements introduces a brilliant, savory edge that keeps the thick, syrupy fortified weight perfectly balanced on the tongue. Operating as the absolute pinnacle profile of the brand's core restage, its magnificent presentation box commands instant shelf authority.
