Larrikin Bourbon Co.
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. Their whiskey reflects this bold spirit of good-natured irreverence, and relies on character, not ceremony. It’s a story that could only be written in America, and only possible in Kentucky. Greg Keeley, a Navy combat veteran, launched LBC in January 2023 with a concept – to blend Bourbon tradition with Australian affability, to offer bloody good Bourbon and inimitable experiences in an engaging, yet laid back environment. At Larrikin, their focus is dead simple: craft extraordinary, novel whiskies that bring a bit of Aussie cheek to Kentucky’s Bourbon heritage.
