Meet Thorny Devil
The party starts when Thorny appears — he brings the heat and unleashes the fun. From tropical Queensland across the sweltering Outback to the hot sands of Western Australia, Thorny gives Australians a fiery spirit to call their own. Native to Australia and built for heat, the thorny devil thrives in a harsh environment, can be clocked at up to 60 km/h, cools off by drinking through his skin via micro channels between his scales, and can eat 3,000 ants in one sitting — so he knows what it feels like to have a mouth on fire. His scientific name — moloch horridus — comes from an ancient god of sacrifice that appears in Milton’s poem Paradise Lost. But grab a bottle of Devil’s Tongue and connect with Thorny, and it’s paradise found.
Production Notes
Devil’s Tongue’s full-furnace flavour comes from a secret recipe of spices, built on the exceptional foundation of Bond 7 Australian Blended Whisky — a spirit with roots going back to 1839, when distiller William Milne arrived from Scotland and established Milne & Co Distillers in Adelaide. With a rich, mellow, malty Highland-esque palate and awards won around the world, Bond 7 has delivered outstanding quality and flavour for nearly 200 years — and there is no better platform for Devil’s Tongue’s spicy recipe to shine from, continuing a legacy that is part of Australia’s distilling heritage.
