THE TIGER SNAKE WHISKEY RANGE
Tiger Snake Whiskey was Australia’s first mixed-grain whiskey, known as Sour Mash Whiskey. Cameron’s interest in this style began in his youth, and Tiger Snake reflects his journey to create the finest Australian interpretation of American bourbon. The range is divided into two distinct styles: Sipping, perfect for enjoying neat or on the rocks, and Mixing, crafted to shine in cocktails and mixed drinks. Both styles use Western Australian grains—corn, rye, malted barley, and the hybrid triticale—and are matured in ex-bourbon casks, resulting in rich, layered flavours.
THE SIPPING RANGE | GRAIN-OUT METHOD
Our sipping whiskeys are crafted using the grain-out (off-grain) method, where the wort (resulting liquid of the mashing) is separated from the spent grains before fermentation. This approach allows for easier handling and produces cleaner flavours, highlighting the subtle characteristics of our Western Australian grain bill: corn, rye, malted barley, and hybrid triticale. The result is a smooth, refined spirit, perfect for enjoying neat or on the rocks.
TIGER SNAKE 43%
The introductory expression to the Tiger Snake family is the 43% release. This is crafted using the solera method in 1000 litre batches, providing long term consistency to the bottled product. This expression is always released at a standard ABV of 43%.
TIGER SNAKE CASK STRENGTH
Moving up the range, Tiger Snake Cask Strength uses the same grain mix of corn, rye, barley and triticale, but is bottled at cask strength straight from the barrel. This means that the ABV will vary by release but usually lands between 60% - 70%.
TIGER SNAKE RYE OF THE TIGER 43% and 55%
Rye of the Tiger is expertly distilled from a grain bill of 60% rye and 40% pale malted barley, highlighting the spicy, complex character for which rye whisky is celebrated. Traditionally released as a small-batch, single-barrel expression, it is most commonly bottled at 55% ABV to preserve its full intensity, though a 43% ABV version is also available for those seeking a slightly gentler, more approachable style.
TIGER SNAKE triticale 55%
This whiskey has been distilled twice from a grain called Triticale, which was created by crossing wheat and rye in Scotland in the late 1800s. The combination of these grains gives our whiskey a distinctive character, where the bold, robust notes of rye blend beautifully with the softer, sweeter flavours of wheat.
THE MIXING RANGE | GRAIN-IN METHOD
Our mixing whiskey is made using the grain-in(on-grain) method—a more frontier approach to whiskey making. All the grains are mashed, fermented, and distilled together, without separating the wort from the solids. This yields a full-bodied, robust whiskey with pronounced grain character. By carefully controlling grain particle size and fermentation, we capture the rich complexity of corn, rye, malted barley, and triticale, reflecting the distinctive terroir of Western Australia.
TIGER SNAKE traditional bourbon mash bill 37.5%
Using a trusted bourbon-style method with this specific “grain-in” process—fermenting and distilling with the grain still present—this whiskey develops a deeper character, fuller body, and richer, oilier flavour, built for a proper whiskey & cola. Distilled and matured for five years in small oak casks at our Porongurup Distillery, it draws on nature’s finest: pure mountain rainwater, a temperate climate, clean air, and 100% premium Western Australian grains—corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley.
