Tasmanian Brand Excels at World Whiskies Awards
HOBART — LARK Distillery has been awarded the World’s Best Design and Best Range Design at the World Whiskies Awards 2026, held during the Global Dinner in London on Thursday. The Tasmanian distillery’s achievement highlights its innovative approach to whisky design, according to a statement from the company.
The awards recognise the distillery’s new brand identity, which marries New World ambition with its Tasmanian roots. The design features a skylark-inspired bottle silhouette and incorporates native Tasmanian flora, symbolizing the island’s natural beauty. LARK’s Managing Director and CEO, Stuart Gregor, expressed pride in the team’s effort, stating that the packaging now matches the quality of the whisky.
LARK’s Innovative Design Approach
The redesign aligns with international standards, transitioning from a 500ml to a 700ml bottle while retaining historical elements. The revamp underscores LARK’s commitment to quality and creativity, which has been central to its identity. Gregor noted the significance of winning on the launch day of their new signature series, calling it an incredible symmetry.
The announcement coincides with the release of LARK’s new portfolio, available online and at their Hobart locations, set to expand to premium bars and retailers worldwide throughout 2026. This development comes amid a growing global appreciation for well-crafted whisky design.
In addition to the accolades for design, LARK Distillery is also celebrated for its dedication to producing exceptional whisky. The company’s focus on innovation and quality has not only set it apart in the competitive spirits market but also attracted a loyal following among whisky enthusiasts. The awards mark a significant milestone for LARK as it continues to build on its reputation and expand its influence internationally. Industry experts have praised LARK for setting new benchmarks in both the aesthetic and taste profiles of modern whisky.
