Lark Distillery is located in Hobart, in Tasmania. Tasmania’s initial flirtation with whisky distillation was enthusiastic, but short lived. In 1838, Lady Jane Franklin convince her husband Governor John Franklin, to outlaw the distilling of spirits in Tasmania that same year because she "would prefer barley be fed to pigs than it be used to turn men into swine”. Until 1992, Tasmania was without any whisky makers. The vision of producing a Tasmanian malt whisky was born in 1989 by Bill and Lyn Lark, leading them to inquire into the details of obtaining a distillation licence. In 1992, the Lark household became the first Australian distillery to produce Single Malt spirit in 154 years. The first Lark Distillery Single Malt Whisky was released commercially in 1998.
