Tasmanian whisky distillery Lark has unveiled a luxury single malt portfolio, marking a defining moment in the brand\u2019s evolution.<\/p>\n


\nThe new luxury portfolio comprises four expressions, which aim to elevate the \u2018fortified depth, flavour intensity and silky complexity\u2019 for which the brand is known.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be bringing these new expressions, wrapped in Lark\u2019s bold new look, out into the world,\u201d<\/em> said Stuart Gregor, managing director and CEO. \u201cWe\u2019re whisky fanatics at heart, driven by the people we work with, the place we come from, and a pioneering spirit that keeps us pushing forward. It really is whisky from another world, and you can taste Tasmania in every drop.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The four new single malts have been introduced alongside the brand\u2019s new visual identity, with each whisky capturing the \u2018wild beauty, elemental power and creative freedom\u2019 of the Australian island of Tasmania, located off the south coast of the mainland.<\/p>\n

The sculpturally redesigned 700ml bottle features vibrant new livery, with this latest chapter said to signal Lark\u2019s \u2018confident step\u2019 onto the world stage and showcase the brand\u2019s ambition to reshape the global new world luxury whisky category.<\/p>\n

The design language channels the island\u2019s wild landscapes and the \u2018soaring spirit\u2019 of the skylark, pairing contemporary elegance with illustrated Tasmanian flora and fauna that celebrate the brand\u2019s singular provenance.<\/p>\n

Three of the expressions, Fire Trail, Devil\u2019s Storm and Ruby Abyss, lead the portfolio\u2019s global release, each revealing a distinct dimension of Tasmania\u2019s unique character.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the fourth expression, Cinder Forest, will be available exclusively through global travel retail (GTR) at key international airports.<\/p>\n

Fire Trail is described as the \u2018purest\u2019 expression of the Lark house style: \u2018bold, vibrant and unmistakably Tasmanian\u2019.<\/p>\n

It offers notes of vibrant citrus and baked fruit, which are said to \u2018meet the depth\u2019 of Port and Sherry casks. The expression is balanced by a subtle savoury note of applewood-smoked water.<\/p>\n

Devil\u2019s Storm is said to be the bold heart of Lark, with depth, texture and \u2018Tasmanian intensity\u2019. The brand says it embodies everything that defines the Lark craft: \u2018fearless flavour, rare cask mastery and a sense of place that\u2019s unmistakably Tasmanian\u2019.<\/p>\n

This single malt was aged in vintage first-fill Port and Sherry casks from Seppeltsfield Wines and finished in American oak. It reveals notes of scorched red fruit, almond fudge and rich chocolate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ruby Abyss, which completes the trio of global releases, is described as a whisky of rare depth, indulgence and elemental balance. It represents the first release in the Lark super luxury range, where every detail is \u2018elevated to art\u2019.<\/p>\n

This \u2018deeply complex\u2019 single malt has been aged in 100% first-fill vintage Port and Sherry casks from Seppeltsfield Wines, including a century-old Australian Port reserve.<\/p>\n

The nose offers dark fruits and caramelised brown sugar, leading to silky mocha and finishing with brandy snap sweetness fused with delicate Tasmanian peat smoke.<\/p>\n

The GTR exclusive, Cinder Forest, showcases the depth of the Lark fortified house style through hand-selected casks, providing \u2018a symphony of layered complexity\u2019. Lark says the expression embodies the new world creativity and elevated craftsmanship that define the brand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaped by first-fill Port and Sherry casks, with a rich American oak finish, the single malt offers sweet vanilla and honey on first approach, while a citrus mist lifts to reveal layers of chocolate and spiced dates.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom confronting century-old laws to celebrating Tasmania\u2019s thriving whisky community, our journey with Lark has always been driven by passion and belief,\u201d<\/em> said co-founder Bill Lark. \u201cThis new range brings together our respect for craft, our island home and our desire to keep pushing what Tasmanian whisky can be. We can\u2019t wait to share these new expressions with the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The luxury core range will be rolled out through premium bars, select retail partners, e-commerce platforms, and GTR worldwide.<\/p>\n

The new portfolio has made a regional debut with exclusive launches in Malaysia and Singapore early this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
