Lyn Lark, the first female distiller in Australia, is a courageous, clever, curious, capable and hard working lady that can turn her hand to almost anything, still constantly contributes so much to the industry and the people in it. Most people know and recognise Bill Lark, it was Lyn doing most of the distilling in the early days, to what has become a world recognised whisky, as well as juggling being a Mum, wife and many other responsibilities. Bill, husband for the last 50 years since they moved to Tasmania, was full time running their surveying business and would help with the distilling after work.
We are all so very proud of this high achieving lovely lady, who has devoted three decades to the country’s founding distillery that has grown under the Lark guidance and influence into Australia’s biggest community of quality whisky lovers. The tireless dedication as a quiet awesome achiever, the always humble Lyn continues to be a leader, ambassador, supporter and mentor in the fast growing distilling industry and beyond.
Happy, happy, happy birthday Lyn. You deserve the absolute best in life and I hope all your other dreams come true too! I am blessed to be your friend for the last ten years. Thank you for always supporting, spoiling, guiding and believing in me. ♡ hh♡ xox

A few words of sincere appreciation and recognition to Lyn Lark from the Lark Distillery Team. “Where would we be without Lyn? Today and everyday, we're tipping our hat to Lyn Lark. While often behind the scenes, and where possible, behind the camera, Lyn Lark was the cornerstone of establishing LARK Distillery, the science and the palate, and the driving force in building the wider distilling industry.
In Lyns' words, 'Every business needs a show pony and a draft horse.' We are incredibly lucky and proud to have Bill and Lyn Lark build this special business taking a small idea on a kitchen table to a globally recognised Single Malt Whisky. Congratulations Lyn and thank you for what you have done and what you continue to do for so many,” from the entire distilling industry. Slainte! Shared via LinkedIn.
