Western Australia’s Best Grains. Perth’s Boldest Whiskey.
Discover how local farmers and premium WA grains shape every drop of our whiskey, from paddock to pour.
In East Perth, our urban distillery is more than just a place for distilling whiskey. It’s a place to experience a Western Australian tale and taste the spirit of WA.
At Whipper Snapper Distillery, our commitment to local runs deep. We work directly with Western Australian farmers to source the wheat, corn and barley that power our whiskey: grain by grain, paddock to pour. From Kununurra to Bruce Rock and beyond, these growers produce some of the finest grains in the world, shaped by WA’s climate, soil and seasons. Their hard work is the foundation of every bottle we make.
Why Local Grain Matters.
Western Australia is famous for its wild coastline and red dirt country, but it’s our fertile farmland that gives our whiskey its edge. Local farmers grow our grain, so we know exactly where it comes from, how they farm it and who’s behind it.
This transparency guides every step of our whiskey-making process, from grain selection to barrel aging, with integrity and local pride. It’s not just about quality. It’s about provenance. And it makes a difference that you can taste.
A True Taste of WA Terrior.
Terroir isn’t just for wine. In whiskey, it shows up in the character of the grain, the influence of the climate and the personality of the people who make it. Our WA grain whiskey reflects the distinct flavour of this place: bold, bright and unmistakably Western Australian. Every batch we make in our East Perth urban distillery carries the story from sun-soaked paddocks to copper stills. And we do it all right here on site, creating a unique flavour profile that will leave you intrigued and excited.
Distilled with Precision. Made with Purpose.
We’re whiskey makers first, but we’re also innovators. Using small-batch techniques and sustainable practices, we craft award winning Australian whiskey that holds its own on the world stage, all while staying true to our local roots. Our craftsmanship and innovation will leave you impressed and appreciative of our dedication to the art of whiskey making.
Our flagship Upshot is Australia’s first of its kind. Made from 100% Western Australian grains, Upshot contains 72% corn, 14% malted barley and 14% wheat. It is a smooth and approachable whiskey that we specifically craft to be shared.
Supporting Local, One Sip at a Time.
When you pick up a bottle, you’re not just getting a top-shelf Whipper Snapper whiskey. You’re supporting WA farmers, local jobs and a distillery that genuinely gives a damn about where its ingredients come from.
