Over 30 years ago, Bill and Lyn Lark took the firs

Over 30 years ago, Bill and Lyn Lark took the first incredible steps towards returning Tasmania to the map of "places that make good whisky".
Mark Nicholson, a good friend of the Lark's, was always along for the journey- from trips to Scotland, to driving the "Drambulance" on whisky tours around Tasmania.

Thankfully the Lark's were passionate about sharing their knowledge and spent the next 20 years teaching and growing the Tasmanian spirit industry by sharing the good, the bad and the ugly with future distillers.

As time went on, and the need for hands-on learning grew, Mark Nicholson joined the Old Kempton Distillery team as the Distillery School teacher and what a ride it has been!

With over 350 students coming through the doors in the past 7 years, the need for that hands-on learning has never changed - and the pride we have in our students has only grown.

Sadly, Mark Nicholson, most often referred to as "Santa" for his jolly disposition and beard, is taking a well-earned retirement from teaching and plans to drink more whisky, rather than talk about it.

The entire Old Kempton team, past and present, would like to take this opportunity to say a very public and heartful Thank you to this wonderful man. Your humour, ability to talk non-stop for 3 days, knowledge and passion will be sorely missed - we are so grateful you've been part of the team for so long (we know we've been keeping you from those adventures!) The only thing keeping us going is knowing you'll never be a stranger to these walls, you love our whisky too much.

So what's next?

Well Santa is off to drink cocktails on the beach with his gorgeous wife (break out the bikini Robin!) but here at Old Kempton, we are working on DS #2. Keep your eyes peeled future distillers...something is brewing and we will share the news as soon as we can.

And if you run into Mark, please buy him a whisky, he deserves it.
