The Lark story is not so much about the distillery but the man behind he distillery and for that matter behind the seed of Australian Whisky distilling as we know it today.

Bill Lark realised that that everything you need for a world-class whisky was in Tasmania – rich fields of barley, an abundance of wonderfully pure soft water, highland peat bogs, and the perfect climate to bring all the ingredients together in a marriage of science, art and passion. The vision of producing Tasmanian malt whisky was born on a trout fishing trip in the highlands of Tasmania. Bill’s father in-law Max produced a wonderful bottle of single malt, and as they enjoyed a drink in the park at Bothwell, surrounded by Georgian buildings, barley fields and the gentle flowing of the Clyde River, Bill remarked to Max, “I wonder why there isn’t anyone making malt whisky in Tasmania”.

The Sweet Side of Single Malt: Kurio Crimson Jam Whisky: The Kurio Crimson Jam Whisky offers a delightful and unconventional experience, expertly balancing the warmth of single malt with the nostalgic sweetness of ripe berry jam. Crafted by the innovative Kurio brand, this spirit challenges traditional boundaries and provides an incredibly accessible and flavour forward drinking experience.

This expression is a masterful blend of premium single malt whisky infused with natural flavours to capture the essence of a freshly made raspberry and strawberry jam. Bottled at an approachable 40% alc/vol, the Crimson Jam maintains the depth of a quality whisky base while delivering smooth, luscious notes of confectionery and fruit.

Perfect for those who enjoy a sweeter dram, this whisky shines when sipped neat, over ice, or used as a flavourful base in modern cocktails, such as a “Jam Old Fashioned” or a whisky sour with a fruity twist. It’s an ideal choice for introducing newcomers to the world of whisky.

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Highly aromatic and sweet, dominated by notes of crushed ripe raspberries and strawberry compote, underpinned by a subtle, creamy vanilla maltiness.

Palate: Smooth and sweet, with a satisfying medium body. Flavours of red berry confectionery, sweet malt, and a hint of brown sugar and spice. The whisky base provides structure without being overwhelming.

Finish: Medium length, soft, and warming, leaving pleasant, lingering notes of berry sweetness and light oak.
