Lark Devil’s Storm No. 183: A Tempest of Tasmanian Intensity

Unleash the elements with Lark Devil’s Storm No. 183, a bold and brooding entry in the celebrated Lark collection. This Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky captures the raw power of a wild Tasmanian southerly, blending the distillery’s signature honeyed spirit with a dark, atmospheric complexity that lingers long after the first sip.

The Maturation: Where Fire Meets Oak

The secret to the Devil’s Storm profile lies in its aggressive cask influence. Matured in a curated selection of heavily charred oak casks and seasoned Apera (Australian Sherry) casks, No. 183 is designed to bridge the gap between sweet malt and smoky depth. The result is a high-impact whisky that showcases the "devilish" side of the Coal River Valley's unique aging climate.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intense and moody. Scents of burnt orange zest and salted caramel collide with rich, smoky maple syrup and a hint of wet earth after a summer storm.
• Taste: A powerful storm of flavour. Deep notes of sticky date pudding and charred pineapple are layered with clove, cinnamon, and a striking undertone of dark roasted coffee beans.
• Finish: Bold and enduring. The storm clears to reveal smouldering embers, bittersweet dark chocolate, and a final, savory touch of coastal salt spray.

A Legacy Crafted in the Shadows of the Tiers

The story of Lark Distillery is one of defiance and innovation. From the first drop distilled by Bill Lark in 1992 to the global powerhouse it is today, the mission has remained clear: to create the world’s best Australian Whisky. Devil’s Storm No. 183 embodies this spirit of adventure, pushing the boundaries of traditional maturation to find beauty in the boldest flavours.
Now distilled in the heart of Tasmania’s primary whisky-growing region, Lark continues to use locally sourced barley and pure glacial water. By marrying traditional copper pot distillation with a modern, daring approach to cask finishing, Lark remains the undisputed pioneer of the Tasmanian Single Malt movement.
