Lark Distillery, Australia’s trailblazing single-malt whisky producer, has redefined the nation’s craft whisky scene since its founding by Bill Lark in 1992. Located in the cool-climate region of Tasmania, the distillery champions bold flavour, local barley and imaginative cask finishes, earning global acclaim with bottling like the Lark Antique Release series. With a steadfast focus on innovation and regional identity, Lark Distillery remains a beacon of Australian single-malt excellence.

This bottling dates from the period when Bill Lark — the man who successfully lobbied to repeal Tasmania's 1838 distillation prohibition, effectively founding the modern Australian whisky industry — was still personally hands-on with the distillery. Lark was acquired by Australian Whisky Holdings in 2018, and production has since scaled up considerably; bottlings from before that change, especially small-format, individually-cask releases like this one, are becoming increasingly scarce and sought after by collectors specifically chasing "old Lark" rather than the current wider-distribution range. The small-format ex-port cask gives it a concentrated, bold fruit-and-butterscotch character typical of Lark's port cask expressions from this era, and the 100ml size makes it an accessible way to own a piece of early Lark history without the price tag of a full-size bottle.
