Whisky Distillery Tasmania

Whisky Distillery Tasmania

For anyone looking for an excellent whisky in Australia, the best place to get started is at a whisky distillery in Tasmania. The whisky industry in Australia is still quite young; this is mostly due to liquor legislation. Bill Lark, the founder of Lark Distilling Co., was instrumental in lobbying the government to overturn these antiquated laws. Before 1990 to secure a liquor producing license in Australia, there was a minimum requirement for the volume of their primary wash (2700 litres). This made it incredibly difficult for passionate craft spirits distillers to operate. Since these were amended, the industry has flourished, and now Tasmania is home to over 60 distilleries producing all sorts of Australian liqueurs and spirits. 

Lark Distilling Co. has been at the forefront of the Tasmanian and Australian whisky industry, and you'll find all our available products in our online store. You can place an order for a whisky delivery, and we'll pack it up safely and send it directly to your door. In addition to the finest Australian whisky, you'll find examples of the best Australian gin available in our online shop. All our deliveries are made using the skilled team at Australia Post (except for bulk orders), and most deliveries are made in less than five days (ten days for regional locations). If you need assistance choosing the best product for you, please don't hesitate to contact our team, and we’ll offer our expert advice.

How to choose the right whisky?

When looking for the perfect drop from your local whisky distillery in Tasmania, you'll often find there are many to choose from. This can create an issue in how can you select the right one? The best way to get started is by looking at all the tasting notes available. At a quality whisky distillery, you'll find reasonably accurate notes about what flavours you'll encounter. In some cases, you may not detect the exact flavours as described, as the flavours in the whisky can be subjective. However, the flavours in the tasting notes as described by the master distillers. You can read through the notes and see if the flavours appeal to you. 

You can also look through reviews and check the whisky awards handed out throughout the years. Reviews from well-respected people in the industry can give you an insight into which whisky is perfect for you. After reading a few reviews and tasting the same whisky, you may find which reviewer is best in line with your own opinion. 

If you'd rather rely on your own taste buds, then it is possible to order a whisky tasting set from Lark Distilling and sample some of our finest whiskies. As a premium whisky distillery in Tasmania, it is our pleasure to sell these kits as a means for introducing people to everything our distillery has to offer. Not only can these help you choose a bottle of our finest, top-shelf whisky, but they make for an excellent gift or corporate package. 

Finally, we think the best way to choose a good whisky is to visit a whisky distillery in Tasmania. At Lark Distilling Co., our cellar door is open for visitation during the week, and you're welcome to drop by at any time. On arrival, you can select a particular whisky to try, or you can request a tasting flight. After your tasting flight, you can purchase one of your favourites and take it home with you.

What are the benefits of drinking whisky?

There are many benefits to drinking whisky. All over the world, whisky is often seen as the choice for a sophisticated person. People who can slow down in an evening and enjoy the complexities of a good whisky are often more receptive to the finer things in life. 

Whiskies are known to enhance the flavours of a good meal, and they can be the perfect finisher for a long day. Relaxing in front of a warm fire on a cool evening is one of the best ways to unwind and let go of the stresses of the day. In the middle of an Australian summer, a whisky is ideal during a backyard BBQ or any time it takes your fancy. Premium whisky is designed to be sipped slowly and savoured, and you can drink it alone or with company. 

Many people will enjoy whisky purely for the flavour. There doesn't need to be any specific benefits to it other than sitting back and enjoying these near-perfect creations. The best whisky is made with passion, and these are often showcased in the glass. As a premium whisky distillery in Tasmania, the team at Lark Distilling Co. fully understand what it takes to make a world-class product.
