Archie Rose Double Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 40% Age: No Age Statement Country: Australia
The Archie Rose distillery was first established in 2015 by Will Edwards who had taken inspiration from visits in 2012 to distilleries in New York and Brooklyn. Gaining knowledge from local distilleries in Tasmania and from some of the pioneers of Australian distilling (Bill Lark, Peter Bignell to name a few) Edwards enlisted Peter Bailly (Australia’s only still maker at that time) to hand build three copper pot stills which were powered by gas and used steam to heat the wash.
The key in the Archie Rose success story is the appointment of Dave Withers, Master Distiller. This was Dave’s first role as head of distilling and he had a lot to prove to his critics on not only how well he could distill but how innovative he could be. Producing a new style Australian whisky that was one day going to empower the world is not a task taken lightly by Dave or Edwards for that matter. The partnership has proved a huge success and one that we will look back on in decades and we will remember how it changed the Australian distilling culture and whisky scene. First batches have been very well awarded in both local and international levels.
The Archie Rose Double Malt Whisky, is a sophisticated blend of the malts that underpin single malt whisky (eight times winner Australia’s best whisky) and rye malt whisky (three times winner world’s best rye whisky) matured in ex-apera, ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks. The mash bill includes amber malt, pale malt and rye malt. Bottled at 40% Alc/Vol.
