Larrikin Bourbon Company and Koala Bare Spirits are heading south, announcing a statewide distribution partnership with Green Light Distribution in Florida.

The Florida launch marks another major step in Larrikin’s national expansion, bringing the proudly Australian-founded, Kentucky-distilled brand to its 15th state.

“Florida is a bloody important market for us,” Greg Keeley, founder and distiller of Larrikin Bourbon Company, said in a news release. “There’s a strong appetite for distinctive whiskey, premium spirits and brands with a bit of personality. Green Light understands how to build brands properly, and we’re excited to get Larrikin and Koala Bare onto shelves—and into glasses—across the state.”

Founded in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Larrikin produces award-winning bourbons, rye whiskeys and specialty spirits with an unmistakable Australian streak. Koala Bare Spirits brings the same philosophy to modern Australian-inspired gin: premium liquid, distinctive botanicals and just enough mischief to keep things interesting.

“Larrikin and Koala Bare bring something genuinely different to the Florida market,” Jon Dickson, Senior Vice President of Green Light Distribution, said. “The quality is exceptional, the brands are memorable, and the team has a compelling story that connects with both retailers and consumers. We’re proud to represent them statewide and look forward to building a strong presence throughout Florida.”

With Florida now live, Larrikin is available in 15 states as the company continues expanding its national retail and distribution footprint.”

“Fifteen states is a terrific milestone, but we’re nowhere near finished,” Keeley added. “Florida, you’re up. Let’s have a drink.”
