The Journey

The road to creating Archie Rose has been as much a journey of discovery and learning as it has about sharing.

As you would expect, the creation of fine spirits by hand demands an in-depth understanding of the intricate processes, timing, chemistry, ingredients and equipment that come together to produce them. With no local distillery to refer to, we reached out to some of the world’s best distillers in Tasmania for inspiration.

Here, pioneers like Bill Lark and craftsmen like Peter Bailly and Adam Bones generously shared with us their skill, passion and commitment to outstanding spirit production, which we took back to Sydney and built upon to create the foundation for Archie Rose.

Inside Archie Rose

Archie Rose has been built on the spirit of sharing. Through a marriage of technical and creative collaboration, we have proudly developed one of the world’s most unique distilleries, set across a 550m2 space nestled in the heart of Rosebery, Sydney within 5 km of the CBD.

Amongst our custom-built copper pot stills, brushed steel washbacks and oak casks, we invite you to tour the distillery, chat with our distillers, sample the spirits we craft by hand and even create your own spirits from the ground up

Commitment to quality

Making spirits of outstanding quality requires a combination of perfectly calibrated equipment, experience, passion and intuition. Our thirst for exploration sees us build on our unique approach to spirit making and push the boundaries of traditional distilling techniques using an array of native and imported botanicals, uncommon malts and carefully selected casks to create spirits that are distinctly our own.

All in the sharing

For us, the true value of knowledge is in its sharing, and at Archie Rose we’re always eager to pass on to others what we’ve learned and know about distilling. From dropping in for an informal chat with our distillers to creating your very own spirits here on premises, Archie Rose is here to be shared and enjoyed.
