Taking inspiration from those great Tennessee Whiskeys and Kentucky Bourbons’, comes Australia’s first version of a sour mash whisky. Like the word Champagne, Bourbon is a geographic indicator so is called ‘Sour Mash’ whiskey in Australia which refers to the type of grain mashing process. Using a classic grain bill of corn, rye and malted barley, sourced entirely from Western Australia, our full f
lavoured sour mash is bursting with tones of vanilla, caramel and hazelnuts. This mixed grain whiskey is richly textured with elegant spices and fruit with a smooth creamy finish you would expect from the Great Southern Distilling Company. Each barrel is hand bottled and numbered in keeping with our small batch tradition. The name is taken from the Western Tiger Snake, one of the most venomous snakes in the world which grows up to 2 metres long. These beautiful, albeit dangerous, creatures are native to the area of the Great Southern distillery, whose barrel store in Albany is cool, dark and undisturbed. Perhaps that’s why on a hot day you may just find a Tiger Snake curled up under a barrel!
