There’s a new name redefining whisky in Australia—Kurio. Born from the award-winning team behind Lark Distilling Co., this audacious new blend is crafted for the curious, the open-minded, and the flavour-hungry. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your whisky journey, Kurio meets you at the crossroads of complexity and discovery.
Conceived by Lark’s Master Distiller Chris Thomson, Kurio marks a new generation of Tasmanian distilling. It celebrates the island’s exceptional natural bounty and inventive spirit, offering a style that feels both confident and inviting. Its debut expression, aptly named “Crimson Jam”, is a meticulously layered blend of single malts matured in Tasmanian cherry and sparkling wine casks—resulting in a rich, fruit-forward whisky full of intrigue.
“Tasmanian ingredients are extraordinary,” says Thomson. “We wanted to capture their essence and push the boundaries of what blended whisky can be. Kurio is for people who, like us, crave flavour that excites and surprises.”
Now available through select Australian retailers, Kurio stands as a testament to the next wave of whisky innovation—rooted in craftsmanship, elevated by curiosity. Whether sipped neat, served over ice, or stirred into a cocktail, it’s a whisky designed to adapt—and always ready to surprise.
