Live the larrikin Way.
Larrikin (n.) Australian slang. A person who disregards convention; a maverick.
Larrikinism was a reaction to rules imposed by British officials on the young country of Australia. Our whiskey reflects this bold spirit of good-natured irreverence, and relies on character, not ceremony.
You may not know Larrikin the word- but you do know these Larrikins;
Annie Oakley, Crocodile Dundee, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Pete Mitchell and Steve Erwin.
We’re greg & katie.
From Lawrenceburg to Larrikin—our name might’ve evolved, but our mission’s still as solid as a rock. Larrikin Bourbon Co. is the true-blue embodiment of the American Dream: a craft distillery built from scratch with a fair dinkum, no-nonsense approach to making bloody good bourbon.
Our founder, LCDR Greg Keeley, USN (ret), has had a wild ride. Greg’s journey kicked off in a vineyard Down Under, to national security professional, and eventually landed in the extraordinary world of distilling. As a Service-Disabled Navy Combat Veteran, Greg has the unique honor of commissioned service in both the United States Navy and the Royal Australian Navy, with combat roles in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Pacific. Raised in Oz, he also served with the Australian Federal Police.
At Larrikin, we don’t muck around. We’re not here to spin yarns about bourbon dating back to the Pilgrims. Our focus is dead simple: what kind of bourbon do we want in our glass? That’s what gets us out of bed.
Our goal? To craft extraordinary, novel whiskies that we’re stoked to pour and even prouder to share. We bring a bit of Aussie cheek to American whiskey, blending tradition with a whole lot of passion.
So here’s to great bourbon, good mates, and chasing something truly special. Cheers, cobber!
We are LARRIKIN.
BLOODY GOOD BOURBON…
and the experts agree.
Private Barrel Program
Our Private Barrel Program is the bee’s knees. Handpicked casks that are as rare as hen’s teeth. Each barrel is a one-of-a-kind gem—unrepeatable and extraordinary.
Simply put, some barrels are just outstanding—first among equals. Choose your barrel in person at the distillery, or remotely, with a curated experience from the comfort of your home, office, or club. Thanks to the new-fangled inter-web, you can taste, evaluate, and select your cask with real-time guidance from our distiller - and find your perfect single barrel select.
Let’s clear the air: we don’t blend our Private Cask selections. We bottle bourbon or rye straight from one single barrel - that you choose. No mucking about. Once it’s bottled, there is no more. Your hand-picked bourbon is one-of-a-kind and impossible to replicate.
Your Larrikin Bourbon Select bottles feature the barrel’s special details like your logo or message along with age, proof, and mash bill. Whether you’re a retailer, distributor, bourbon club, individual with a great taste in bourbon or charity group, your bottles are uniquely yours. Depending on the cask’s age, you’ll get between 140 and 240, 750ml bottles. Rule of thumb, the older the cask, the fewer bottles.
No wait, no drama, just bloody good bourbon.
