Australian Whisky production started in 1992 by Bill Lark in Hobart. Bill was inducted into the whisky magazines hall of fame in March 2015 for services to Australian whisky.

Tasmanian-based Lark won the World Whisky Awards London 2009 followed by a number of subsequent wins for Tasmanian whisky at whisky competitions around the world it became clear that Tasmania is a serious player in the world whisky market. 3 AWH – HOW WE ADD VALUE INVESTMENT CAPEX TO SCALE PRODUCTION Award Winning Single Malt Whisky MANAGEMENT MANAGE BUSINESS & CASHFLOW PRODUCE CONSISTENT PRODUCTION MARKETING TYPICAL DISTILLERY OPERATIONS DIGITAL & TRADITIONAL MARKETING Global Market • Poor cash flow • No capital to scale SALES • Variable output E-COMMERCE PLATFORMS • Limited sales & marketing • Limited management DISTRIBUTION • Limited access to global markets GEO HUBS & PREMIUM PARTNERS 4 AWH ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR Feb 2014 - Acquired 32% of Lark Distillery ― Expanded whisky production ― Advise on financial management and put in place financial controls and costing systems ― Secretarial services ― Re-launched the Lark Gin with a new name ‘Forty Spotted’ ― Provided funding to meet the majority of Lark and Overeem expansion plans ― Moved Lark into a position of generating profits from operations Mar 2016 - Acquired 12% Redlands Distillery, the only paddock to bottle single malt whisky distiller in Australia Apr 2016 - Commenced implementation of the strategy to established independent bottling operation through the purchase of 32 barrels of “new make” from Archie Rose Distilling Co.
