Lark whisky is proudly made at our Coal River Lark Distillery, nestled in the beautiful region of Tasmania, Australia. This distillery holds a special place in our hearts as it is where our founder and the Godfather of Australian Whisky, Bill Lark, first began his journey in crafting exceptional single malt whisky.
To give you a little background, Tasmania is an island state located south of mainland Australia. It is renowned for its pristine wilderness, pure water sources, and cool climate, all of which contribute to the creation of exceptional whisky. The Coal River Valley, where our distillery is situated, is particularly well-suited for whisky production due to its fertile soil and ideal temperature fluctuations.
When you visit our Coal River Lark Distillery, you'll be greeted by a picturesque setting surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery. The distillery itself is a sight to behold, with its traditional copper pot stills and oak casks lining the walls. It exudes an air of craftsmanship and dedication to our whisky-making heritage.
Walking through the distillery, you'll witness the entire whisky-making process, from mashing and fermentation to distillation and maturation. Our skilled distillers carefully select the finest locally sourced ingredients, including Tasmanian barley and pure water from nearby rivers, to create the base for our whisky.
Once the whisky has been distilled, it is aged in a variety of oak casks, including ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, to develop its unique flavors and character. This maturation process takes time, allowing the whisky to interact with the wood and absorb its rich aromas and flavors.
At the heart of our distillery is Bill Lark himself, who has dedicated his life to perfecting the art of whisky-making. His passion and expertise are evident in every bottle of Lark whisky, and his commitment to quality is unwavering. Bill's vision and pioneering spirit have put Australian whisky on the global map, and his influence can be felt throughout the industry.
Lark whisky is made with love and care at our Coal River Lark Distillery in Tasmania, Australia. This region's natural beauty and pristine environment provide the perfect backdrop for crafting exceptional single malt whisky. Our distillery is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into every bottle of Lark whisky, and we invite you to come and experience it for yourself.
