A masterclass on Lark whisky held at Bartholomew's in Newcastle.
Bartholomew's is hosting a Lark Whisky Masterclass on Thursday 24 September, a night dedicated to the Tasmanian distillery. If you've got a thing for a good dram, this is one of those sessions that lets you get under the bonnet of a single producer rather than just sampling a few different labels in one go.
Lark is the oldest distillery in Australia, and the masterclass is built around their range. The format is straightforward: you'll spend the evening tasting through a selection of their whiskies, with a guide talking you through what's in the glass. It's a good way to pick up the basics of how they make their spirits and to figure out which styles you actually prefer, rather than just guessing from the label.
It's held at Bartholomew's, at 145 King Street in the city, so it's easy to get to if you're coming from anywhere in Newcastle. The session runs on Thursday night, which works well if you're looking for something to do mid-week that doesn't involve a late one on a Friday or Saturday.

Tickets are A$160 per person plus a booking fee. That covers your place at the table and the whiskies you'll be tasting throughout the night. It's a bit of an investment for a single evening, but it's the kind of thing that makes more sense if you're already a fan of the stuff and want to know more about it.
