The Bird Whiskey

The Bird is a premium single malt whiskey born from friendship and vision, created by Mark Bouris, Andrew Nugent, and Paul Giles. Crafted with traditional techniques and matured in Apera barriques and Bourbon casks before a brief finishing in Bird in Hand Chardonnay casks, it offers a refined and complex flavour experience. With its russet gold hues and layered notes of fruit, spice, and sweetness, this whiskey reflects both craftsmanship and sophistication.

The Bird Whiskey

The Bird was developed with a shared aspiration to produce an ultra-premium whiskey that captures the flavours and rhythm of the Australian bush. The founders, each with a background in business, winemaking, and hospitality, set out to create a whiskey that balances authenticity with innovation. By integrating Chardonnay cask finishing into the maturation process, The Bird bridges the worlds of whisky and wine, offering a truly distinctive Australian expression.
