Lark Tasmanian Single Malt • 92′

Lark’s distillery was founded in 1992 and has produced whisky continuously since Bill and Lyn Lark succeeded in having Tasmania’s century-and-a-half-long ban on distilling overturned. They filled their first barrel with spirit from a hobby-sized 75-litre still. When we started the idea was simply to see if we could make good malt whisky in Tasmania not necessarily with the idea to establish an industry says Lark. The fact is that the whisky soon proved to be of such good character that the business quickly grew up around us. Since then Lark’s and the Australian whisky industry have blossomed and show no signs of slowing down. Of late a flurry of awards have been bestowed upon various Tasmanian distillers reaffirming their place as a prime whisky-producing region on a global scale. If only the whisky was maturing as fast. Lark’s Distillers selection is bottled at 46% ABV and recently took the title of Best World Whisky for 2014 at the International Whisky Competition
