Tiger Snake Distillery launches bourbon-inspired whiskey

Great Southern Distilling Co. has released a bourbon-style whiskey for Australians – Tiger Snake Australian Whiskey Traditional Bourbon Mash Bill – made at its Tiger Snake Distillery in Porongurup, Western Australia.

Tiger Snake Australian Whiskey Traditional Bourbon Mash Bill aims to deliver a locally grown and distilled spirit with a bourbon-style character made for everyday Australians. The distillery stated the new expression is designed for mixing, embracing both a traditional bourbon mash bill and a grain-in process. The method allows for exceptional value without sacrificing terroir and authenticity.

Tiger Snake Distillery founder and head distiller, Cameron Syme, said the product has been long-term plan for him.

“I grew up on a wheatbelt farm in Buntine WA, and started my whiskey journey on Bourbon,” said Syme.

“It never made sense to me that Australia imports millions of bottles of whiskey a year. I always wanted to create a locally made mixed grain whiskey that’s approachable, affordable, and distinctly Australian – a drink for the everyday working person. Tiger Snake Grain-In Traditional Bourbon Mash Bill is our mark of respect to these great USA whiskies.

“This is Australia’s alternative to bourbon. It’s robust, full-bodied, and made for real life – not just special occasions,” he said.

Tiger Snake Grain-In Traditional Bourbon Mash Bill is now available online at distillery.com.au for RRP $65.00, in select retailers across Western Australia, and at Great Southern Distilling Co.’s cellar doors in Albany, Margaret River, and Swan Valley.
