Isla Vodka

Premium Australian Vodka for modern drinking

Isla was created to meet the growing demand for premium, better-for-you drinks that don’t sacrifice flavour or authenticity. Produced in Melbourne, Isla combines locally distilled Australian wheat vodka, pure spring water and all-natural ingredients to create a range of spirits and RTDs tailored to contemporary drinking occasions. The brand sits at the intersection of two powerful consumer trends: premiumisation and mindful consumption, offering low-calorie, low-sugar, gluten-free and vegan-friendly products that prioritise clean flavour and ingredient transparency. While many RTDs rely on artificial sweeteners and flavourings, Isla’s proposition is built around simplicity, quality ingredients and local production.

Better-For-You Positioning – Low calorie, low sugar, gluten free and vegan-friendly across the RTD range.

Philosophy:

Isla’s philosophy is founded on a simple idea: consumers should not have to choose between flavour and moderation. The range is consciously crafted around natural ingredients, lower sugar levels and uncomplicated flavour profiles that deliver refreshment without the excessive sweetness often associated with the RTD category. Every product is designed to provide a lighter, cleaner drinking experience while retaining the premium character expected from a quality vodka-based beverage. By focusing on ingredient quality, transparency and drinkability, Isla aims to align with evolving consumer preferences towards wellness-conscious, better-for-you beverage choices.

People:

Isla was founded by Melbourne entrepreneurs Andrew Walsh and Ben Tucker, who set out to create a premium Australian vodka brand built around natural ingredients, local production and a better-for-you drinking experience. As the business has grown, they have been joined by Julian Black, appointed General Manager of Sales in 2025, bringing more than two decades of drinks industry experience with Diageo and Lion. Together, the team combines entrepreneurial vision with deep beverage industry expertise, helping drive Isla’s expansion across retail, on-premise and events channels.

Beyond the Bottle:

Isla has built much of its awareness through experiential marketing and event culture, becoming the exclusive vodka or RTD partner for major Australian events including the Australian Open, Laneway Festival, Fred Again national tour dates and Melbourne Fashion Week. These partnerships have enabled the brand to engage consumers directly and demonstrate the appeal of its better-for-you proposition in high-energy social settings. The result is a brand that combines strong lifestyle relevance with genuine product differentiation, creating a bridge between premium spirits, RTDs and contemporary drinking culture.
