Tasting Notes

Symphony Nº1 is the first blended malt from the House of Lark, representing a composition of exceptional Tasmanian single malt whiskies.

Crafted from a symphony of complementary casks, Head Distiller Chris Thomson has expertly woven the complexity of American oak bourbon with the balance of sherry and heavier depth of port to form a creamy, oily melody of flavours; a malt whisky that’s full of life from start to finish and carries the uncompromised signature of Lark Whisky—a Tasmanian icon.

Awards:

China Wine and Spirits Awards: Gold for Best Blended Malt in 2024.

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Lark Symphony Nº1 is the first blended malt whisky released by Lark Distillery in Hobart, Tasmania — a composition drawing on multiple parcels of Tasmanian single malt whisky matured in different cask types. Head Distiller Chris Thomson assembled the blend from American oak ex-Bourbon casks, Sherry casks, and Port casks, integrating the lighter vanilla and tropical fruit character of the bourbon wood with the dried fruit richness of sherry and the heavier, concentrated depth of port. The result is a creamy, fruit-forward Tasmanian blended malt with mango, peach, apricot, toffee apple, and fresh citrus throughout. Bottled at 40.2% ABV in a 500mL format.

Provenance

Lark Distillery was founded in 1992 by Bill Lark in Hobart, Tasmania, and is widely credited as the pioneering distillery that launched the modern Australian craft whisky movement. Before Lark, Tasmanian whisky distillation had been suppressed since colonial-era licensing laws. Bill Lark successfully lobbied the Tasmanian government to amend those laws in 1992, opening the path for Tasmania's now-thriving whisky industry. The distillery is located on the Hobart waterfront and draws on Tasmanian barley, local peat from the highlands, and pristine mountain water. The Signature numbered series — Fire Trail, Devil's Storm, and Ruby Abyss — forms the distillery's global travel retail collection.

About this Spirits

Tasmania

Apart from being the most southerly wine region in Australia, Tasmania has among the coolest growing subregions with the potential to make distinctly different wines than in the rest of the country.

Most well known for cool-climate varietals like Pinot noir and Chardonnay (thus sparkling too), Sauvignon Blanc smaller plantings of Riesling, Cabernet and Pinot Gris (more commonly Pinot labelled Pinot Grigio)

Historically, Tasmania can lay claim to being the founder of both the Victorian and South Australian wine industries as William Henty sailed from Launceston to Portland (in Victoria) in 1834 and planted grape cuttings there. Though not conclusively proven, it's believed that John Hack planted vines in South Australia in 1837, closely followed in 1838 by John Reynell.

Warmer vintages (possibly attributable to global warming) has had positive effects on region's industry, allowing grapes in recent vintages to achieve full phenolic ripeness, making for vibrant wines that have been widely accepted as world class.
