Founded in 1992 by Bill Lark, often hailed as the “Godfather of Australian Whisky,” Lark Distillery has become a pioneer of the modern Tasmanian whisky movement. Based in the Coal River Valley, Lark is celebrated for its innovative use of casks, careful small-batch production, and distinctive house style, which balances rich fruit, spice, and a subtle influence of Tasmanian peat. Today, Lark continues to push boundaries with limited editions like Dark Lark, while remaining true to the craftsmanship that established it as one of Australia’s most iconic distilleries.

What sets Devil's Storm No. 183 apart is the sheer scale and age of its wood partnerships. By sourcing first-fill fortified casks directly from Seppeltsfield—including historical Tawny components that have slept in wood for over a century—the spirit absorbs massive layers of old tobacco, rancio oak depth, and rich leather undertones. This heavy, sweet foundation perfectly tames the savory coastal peat and crisp applewood smoke, preventing the phenols from overwhelming the palate. Bypassing simple, one-note wood profiles, this multi-layered single malt delivers a dense, velvety mouthfeel that rivals top-tier Scotch equivalents. Operating as a premium, fast-moving asset from Lark's upgraded Signature Collection, its striking presentation and flavor depth capture massive traction from New World collectors and casual enthusiasts alike.
