Distillery

Crafting whiskey in the spirit of Western Australia.

Established in 2014 by two young passionate whiskey drinkers, brother in-laws Alasdair Malloch and Jimmy McKeown. WSD was born from an idea shared that a new era of Australian whiskey could be crafted with its own identity, redefined, whilst still being authentic, quality whiskey helping to shape the future of the Aussie distilling industry.

Our journey starts with the relentless pursuit to create the perfect Australian whiskey. As pioneers in this field, your local distiller, Whipper Snapper Distillery handcraft a range of premium, authentic craft whiskeys, set to redefine our perception, and inspire a new generation.
