Larrikin Bourbon Co. Brings Back American Maple Bourbon Nationwide on November 15

Larrikin Bourbon Co. is re-releasing American Maple, a 90-proof Kentucky straight bourbon finished in maple syrup barrels, in markets nationwide on November 15, 2026, at a suggested retail price of $60 for a 750 mL bottle. EIN Presswire announced the return on November 14, 2026.

How Larrikin Makes American Maple

American Maple begins as Kentucky straight bourbon and passes through Wisconsin. Larrikin's emptied bourbon barrels travel north to a maple farm, where they hold American maple syrup for six months. After the syrup is bottled, the barrels return to Kentucky and are refilled with Larrikin bourbon, which the company says takes on a subtle maple character.

Greg Keeley, founder and distiller of Larrikin Bourbon Co., said customers had asked for the whiskey since the last bottles sold out. "You lot have been carrying on about American Maple since the last bottles disappeared," he said. "Fair enough. We wanted it back, too. Bloody good bourbon, a little maple, and nothing over the top. We're chuffed to have it back—just in time for Autum."

The release follows competition results. American Maple took Platinum and 94 points at the 2025 Monterey International Spirits Competition and Platinum at the 2025 Distillers Challenge International Spirits Competition. Spirits Review Online gave it 95 points, where reviewer Rich Cook praised its maple and toasted oak aromas, silky texture, and a "warming and spicy" finish.

Larrikin's Kentucky and Gin Releases

According to akta.pro company records, Larrikin launched Koala Bare in May 2026, a collection of four Australian botanical gins made with wattleseed, lemon myrtle, Tasmanian pepperberry and sea parsley, debuting into 16 U.S. states. The same records describe the gin's move into those 16 states as the company's first major footprint outside Kentucky. Larrikin also released Pour for the Roses 2026, a third-annual limited-edition 9-year single-barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon honoring the Kentucky Derby, hand-signed by Keeley with Australian Brushmen-inspired label art.

On August 24, 2026, the company unveiled the Australia Series, three cask-strength bourbons finished in Australian barrels, at the 2026 Kentucky Bourbon Festival, according to EIN Presswire.
