Lark Archive Single Cask LD55
This early-era release from Lark Distillery reflects a formative period when the entire Lark family contributed to building the brand’s reputation for innovation grounded in traditional Tasmanian distilling techniques. Bottled in 2008 from single cask LD55, this whisky was crafted under the direction of Kristy Lark, daughter of Bill and Lyn Lark, who has since gone on to establish her own Killara Distillery. While the year of filling is undisclosed, its rarity and family connection make it an important piece of Lark’s early legacy.
Lark Distillery
Founded in 1992 by Bill and Lyn Lark, Lark Distillery was instrumental in reviving whisky-making in Tasmania after more than 150 years. Known for their meticulous attention to detail, use of locally sourced ingredients, and small-batch production, the Lark family pioneered the island’s now-thriving whisky industry. Lark expressions are celebrated for their rich, full-bodied style, achieved through careful cask selection and the use of pure Tasmanian water.

This release is both historically and sentimentally significant, representing a time when Lark’s whisky was produced in very small volumes by the founding family. With Kristy Lark’s personal involvement and its status as an early single cask bottling, LD55 embodies the spirit of Tasmania’s modern whisky renaissance. Its scarcity and direct connection to the Lark family’s whisky-making journey make it a highly desirable addition for collectors.
