From Pure Grain to Glass. Always made of Tasmania.

Production

Oak casks are meticulously selected from Australia’s finest fortified producers to age LARK’s award-winning Tasmanian spirit. The exceptional casks are crafted, roasted, and seasoned on-site by their very own Cooperage team.

LARK Collaborate with some of the finest fortified producers in Australia, giving them access to some of the oldest and rarest wine casks in the world, some exceeding 100 years of age. Providing an unparalleled foundation for their whisky production.

Fresh water sphagnum peat is mined from LARK’s very own peat moor in the Tasmanian Highlands, transported to the distillery, and used to smoke their Australian sourced barley – which is then used to brew their very own wash on site.

What sets LARK apart in the whisky world is their unique post-malt smoking process. Unlike traditional methods where barley is kiln-dried after malting, their malted barley arrives at the Tasmanian distillery already malted. Over an extended period, they then smoke two tons of malted barley with 100kg of their own fresh peat. This method imparts distinctive chocolate and earthy roasted coffee notes, creating a flavour profile that distinguishes their whisky from traditionally peated varieties.
