A release from the pioneer and leading independent bottler Heartwood. 'Shot In The Dark' is made from peated distillate from Lark, aged in muscat barrels. One of 336 bottles. Not for the faint-hearted this one - was one of Heartwoods more divisive drams- get a sample, join the conversation and see if you are a lover or hater of this style.Â
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
