Buy Lark whisky online in Australia at Whisky Wine Sake. When Bill Lark founded his Hobart distillery in 1992, he had to overturn a 153-year-old law to do it — and in the process became the 'godfather of Australian whisky', kickstarting the entire modern Tasmanian industry.
The Tasmanian original
Lark's house style is elegance with backbone: Tasmanian-grown barley, brewery-fresh wash, small casks and the island's cool, humid climate produce a malt full of orchard fruit, honey, oak spice and a signature thread of gentle peat — cut from Tasmania's own bogs. The Classic Cask is the flagship and the right first bottle; limited releases and cask-strength editions dive deeper into sherry, port and apera wood, and disappear quickly when they land.
Lark also has serious hardware to its name — including International Distiller of the Year honours — and sits alongside Sullivans Cove and Starward as the essential trio of Australian malt. Browse the full Australian whisky collection to compare.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Bill Lark called the godfather of Australian whisky?
He won the 1992 repeal of a colonial-era law that had banned small-still distilling in Tasmania since 1839, then mentored many of the distillers who followed. No Lark, no Australian whisky boom.
What does Lark whisky taste like?
Orchard fruit, malt honey and spice with a whisper of Tasmanian peat — more subtle than Islay smoke, closer to a refined Highland dram with its own island accent.
Which Lark should I start with?
The Classic Cask — it's the definitive expression of the house style. Cask-strength and limited wood finishes are the step up for enthusiasts.
