LAWRENCEBURG, KY, UNITED STATES, November 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Larrikin Bourbon Company and Koala Bare Spirits today announced a partnership with Arizona-based Lynx Distribution to launch both brands in Arizona, bringing their distinctive whiskeys and Australian-inspired gins to a new audience in the Southwest.

The partnership marks the next step in the brands’ U.S. expansion, pairing Larrikin’s Kentucky roots and Australian personality with a local partner focused on quality and getting things done.

“Arizona is a bloody important market for us,” said Greg Keeley, founder and distiller of Larrikin Bourbon Co. “Ripper bourbon, Aussie inspired gin and a healthy disregard for taking ourselves too seriously. We reckon we’ll get along with Lynx just fine.”

Based in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Larrikin produces bourbon, rye whiskey and specialty spirits shaped by founder Greg Keeley’s Australian heritage. Koala Bare Spirits takes that independent spirit into gin, showcasing Australian botanicals in an expressive, contemporary style.

“Larrikin and Koala Bare bring exceptional spirits with an unmistakable personality,” said Colton Varner, Director of Operations at Lynx Distribution. “We’re excited to introduce both brands to Arizona and bring a little Aussie spirit to our state.”

Larrikin’s move into Arizona brings the Veteran owned craft distillery into its 18th state.
