Australian retail bourbon range..

[Tallica]

I believe its only sold in Australasia, Jim Murray makes reference to it in his book "classic bourbon......."

Barossa Valley, that location sounds like you are in wine country...correct? I should know as I do drink a fair amount of Aussie wine. How about a Cougar Bourbon tasting report!

[TNbourbon]

Cougar is a brand of Continental Spirits -- which distributes widely in Asia -- which is itself a subsidiary of Foster' Group, the Foster's beer people. That said, I can't find anything about who actually distills it.
Here's a link:
Cougar Bourbon

Another Australian website which sells it -- Nick's -- lists it, however, as a Kentucky product.

It reads like they may add artificial flavoring..."enhanced by charred oak toast flavoring" vs barrel aging flavors. The Black Douglass scotch is a combination of grain and malt blends. Both sound like lower shelf products. But I could be wrong...we need a brave Aussie or two to perform some tastings and report back.

You are right, its all about wine here.
I work at Penfolds in Nuriootpa an iconic name here down under & Which is probably the largest Premium winery in the southern hemisphere.We bottle about fifty million litres per year.In Boones contribution,Its great to see the passion & pride show through for her company & industry.

I will try adding tasting notes when I next try the cougar( don't expect too much)
Its a bit like wine I know what I like but have trouble describing why.
Even mixed with coke(sic) I can tell what most of my bourbons are in blind tasting, but still have trouble describing why I prefer one to another when drinking straight.
