Nant Distilling Company

What Nant Distilling Company does

LARK Distillery (operating under Nant Distilling Company) is a Tasmanian luxury single malt whisky producer founded in 1992 by Bill and Lyn Lark, credited with re-establishing legal distilling in Tasmania after a 150-year prohibition. The company produces single malt whisky shaped by Tasmanian terroir and a signature house style that uses applewood-smoked water and multi-cask maturation in first-fill vintage Port and Sherry casks sourced from Seppeltsfield, finished in American Oak. Its portfolio spans the New Signature Collection, Devil's Storm No.183 (peated), Dark Lark No.166 special edition, the Wilderness Collection single-cask series, Rare Cask releases, and a Personalised Classic Cask line for gifting occasions.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market across an owned global e-commerce storefront, the Hobart Cellar Door and Pontville Distillery retail and tour sites, and the GOTHAM at The Still events venue in Hobart. Revenue is generated from one-time bottle sales, distillery tours, tastings, gin-making and blending experiences, venue hire, and personalised and corporate gifting, alongside The LARK Club — a subscription membership offering exclusive releases and early access. Customers are split across luxury gifting consumers, experiential visitors, corporate clients, and whisky collectors, with no disclosed enterprise anchor customers.

Leadership is anchored by founders Bill and Lyn Lark and current Master Distiller Chris Thomson. The company is privately held and operates under Tasmanian Liquor Licensing Act 1990 (Distillery Licence 80886, Cellar Door Licence 71110624). Self-described as "Australia's No.1 Luxury Single Malt Whisky," LARK combines heritage, terroir, and a multi-venue experiential model to support premium pricing and a recurring-revenue layer through its membership programme.
