A rugged island adrift from the Australian mainland, where untamed landscapes stretch beyond the horizon and a fiercely independent spirit thrives. It is here, in this land of myth and mystery, that Tasmanian Tiger Vodka is born. More than just a premium spirit, it is a tribute to the island’s raw beauty, its enduring legends, and the creatures that have shaped its lore.
Like the island’s winds that whisper through ancient forests, each bottle carries the essence of the wild-an untamed character shaped by time, nature, and an unbreakable will to endure.
Purity Distilled: A Testament to the Island’s Natural Bounty
The essence of Tasmanian Tiger Vodka lies in its unparalleled purity. The waters that form the foundation of this exceptional vodka are carried north by the frigid winds of Antarctica, falling as some of the purest rainwater on earth before filtering through Tasmania’s pristine wilderness. Like a river carving through stone over millennia, this natural filtration, untouched by pollution or artificial treatment, lends the vodka a smoothness that is both rare and sublime-liquid silk in a bottle, as crisp as the first breath of dawn over a mist-cloaked valley.
Each sip unfurls in layers. The first impression is one of crystalline clarity, a whisper of minerality reminiscent of rain on sun-warmed rock. Then comes a silken weight, a velvety glide across the palate-pure, unadulterated, with a hint of delicate sweetness akin to wild honeysuckle blooming in the island’s cool air. The finish is where Tasmania speaks in earnest: a crisp, bracing bite, like the sudden chill of ocean mist rolling over rugged cliffs. It lingers, not with burn, but with an elegant warmth that echoes long after the glass is empty.
The Legacy of the Thylacine: A Spirit Bound to Legend
The name Tasmanian Tiger is no accident. It is a homage to the legendary Thylacine, the elusive predator that once roamed the island’s forests, now whispered to still exist in the depths of its wild terrain. This vodka does not just bear a name; it carries a legend, distilling not only a spirit but a narrative-one that speaks of survival, mystery, and the untamed heart of Tasmania.
Much like its namesake, this vodka commands intrigue. It is not simply consumed-it is pursued, sought after by those who appreciate spirits that embody something deeper than taste alone. The Thylacine may have vanished from sight, but in each bottle, its enigmatic presence is revived, an echo of a creature too fierce to be forgotten.
The Range: A Portfolio of Wild Elegance
Tasmanian Tiger Vodka
The foundation of the brand, a premium 40% ABV vodka crafted with precision and care, capturing the essence of its homeland. It is a study in restraint and refinement-smooth yet lively, clean yet expressive, balancing purity with a whisper of the untamed.

Devil’s Edition
A limited-release, extra-proof small-batch vodka inspired by Tasmania’s other formidable predator-the Tasmanian Devil. Bottled in distinctive packaging, it is as bold and rare as the creature it honors. This version amplifies the core vodka’s character, with a heightened warmth and complexity-a deeper embrace of Tasmania’s wilderness, both fierce and exhilarating.
Each sip of Devil’s Edition is a fire that starts slow, then builds-a smoldering ember that ignites into a rush of peppery spice and briny sea air. It is the distilled essence of a storm rolling in from the Southern Ocean: untamed, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore.
A Spirit with Purpose: Giving Back to the Land That Inspires
A percentage of every bottle sold supports conservation initiatives on the island, particularly the fight to save the Tasmanian Devil from extinction. Just as old-growth forests shelter the hidden life within, each bottle safeguards a future for Tasmania’s wildlife. And beyond that, the brand holds a deep-rooted belief that the Tasmanian Tiger still roams-an idea they are determined to explore and support through dedicated research efforts.
True to its exclusivity, Tasmanian Tiger Vodka is produced in small, highly sought-after batches. Each release, including special limited-edition bottles, is designed for connoisseurs who appreciate not only fine spirits but also the stories they tell. The combination of premium craftsmanship and striking aesthetics ensures that every bottle is a work of art, a fragment of Tasmania’s wilderness frozen in time. Owning one is like holding a piece of legend itself-a relic of something wild, beautiful, and on the verge of vanishing.
Despite navigating trademark challenges, Tasmanian Tiger Vodka remains steadfast in its mission: to craft a world-class spirit that embodies the island’s wild heart while giving back to the land that inspires it. For those fortunate enough to experience it, this vodka is more than just a drink-it’s an expedition into the untamed, a sip of something rare and extraordinary. And with the promise of the Devil’s Edition on the horizon, the adventure is only just beginning.
