Tasmania’s Lark Distilling has reported sales of $3.7 million for the three months ending 30 September 2025. The result follows a full-year sales rise of 12% for the 12 months to June 2025.

Direct exports in Asia grew 160% to $0.6 million in the quarter, with an initial order for KURIO into China. Following the onboarding of new markets and distributors – predominantly across South-East Asia – Lark said it was seeing growing brand recognition and trade momentum.

Singapore, in particular, continues to deliver strong sales supported by a brand ambassador-led trade incentive program, which will see selected trade partners and key opinion leaders visit Lark’s Tasmanian Distillery in Q2FY26.

However, domestic B2B decreased 34% on the prior corresponding period, with sales totalling $0.9 million. Lark said the decline was due to a change in the sales model in the comparative period, which included both the old direct sales model and the distribution model with Spirits Platform, as well as timing and one-off effects from the transition on 1 August 2024.

Strong domestic sales were seen for Mizunara Oak Rare Cask and DARK LARK.

LARK outgoing CEO Sash Sharma (above right) said: “The Lark team continues to execute on our strategic roadmap, laying the foundations for long-term scalable growth.

“We’ve entered FY26 with our fifth consecutive quarter of revenue growth versus the prior corresponding period, together with ongoing momentum in our Asian export sales including an initial shipment to China and a new distribution agreement signed in Japan.

“Performance in global travel retail continues to be aided by activations in the quarter and promotional activity, including
tasting bars in airports.

“Over the last three years we have executed on numerous strategic initiatives, positioning Lark as Australia’s number
one luxury single malt. Throughout this time, Lark’s brand recognition has expanded significantly and I’m excited to
see the fresh energy and perspectives that incoming CEO Stuart Gregor [above left] will bring beyond January 1, 2026.

“Stu has in-depth knowledge of the Lark brand from his role on our Board and brings a wealth of knowledge with 25-years of
industry leading experience. As a co-founder of Four Pillars Gin, he successfully scaled that business from a small craft
operation to an international brand eventually sold in 2023 to global drinks giant Lion.

“I feel confident knowing Lark remains in a unique position to capitalise on the significant efforts made by the team
in recent years, and Stu is an ideal leader to build on these foundations, leveraging his insights to expand Lark
globally.”
