Fuelled by the wonder of Tasmania, we don’t just make whisky – we explore it. From the early days when our founders, Bill & Lyn Lark, challenged the status quo, to today’s team led by our Master Distiller, Chris Thomson, we’ve been pushing boundaries and rethinking what Single Malt Whisky can be. After a lifetime of calling this mystical island home, we’re shaped by our landscape’s extremes. The purest water, the super-climate and the casks, all help to inform our unique house style – but it’s our team that truly creates something fascinating. Candid, skilled and hands-on, our team of makers and experimenters are explorers at heart.
Our Island is home to as many snow-topped mountains as white sand beaches, where untouched jungles neighbour windswept marshes; ours is an island that allows you to travel across the world in just a few short hours. A whisky super-climate with pure water, clean air, and rich soil, Tasmania offers the perfect conditions for growing barley and cultivating peat. Set apart by our dramatic climate, and four distinct and extreme seasons, here sharp temperature swings shape and deepen maturation – creating whiskies that are rich, rounded, and unified in flavour. A world of contrast, where extremes inspire everything we do, each drop of our whisky carries the character of Tasmania – a whisky that only this island could create.
We’re unbound by historic rules, we’re inspired by our homeland and driven by discovery. Being shaped by Tasmania’s unique climate and the ingenuity of its people, we craft whisky with a bold new vision.
Born from a land of evocative extremes, with a history of re-imagining the rules of whisky – we choose taste and excitement over tradition. Committed to creativity, craft, and pushing boundaries ever further: we’re constantly pursuing flavour.
