Editor’s Letter by Master Distiller, Dave Withers

It's just one man’s opinion, but whisky is pretty great, right? It’s a drink that can enliven an occasion and create memories. Whisky can provoke conversation and should always raise the taste buds. Yet one of the most interesting things about this chameleon of a beverage is its ability to sum up the place and culture that made it.By Dave WithersRead more

Since we began producing spirits ten years ago, we’ve sought to redefine the art of distillation. Our values of creativity and innovation led naturally to many years of artistic collaboration and the opportunity to showcase the richness of Australian ingredients and artistry. Over the last decade, we have partnered with creatives and artists, each bringing their style and transforming our spirits into experiences that embody Australian culture. By Elisha KennedyRead more

Emerald Finger Lime Gin with Vickie from Marvick Farms

Experimenting with Australian botanicals has always been part of our process at Archie Rose. We do so for a few reasons, the first of which is that Australian botanicals lend themselves really well to complex and interesting flavour profiles that reflect the diversity of our native flora. Sourcing local ingredients and partnering with local farmers are also key to our operation as a sustainable business.By Elisha KennedyRead more

Question Everything with the Sensory Team, David Fisher and Silvia Segato

For this edition’s Question Everything, we wanted to dive as deeply as possible into the work of blending. To do so, we thought we’d best leave it to the expert—in this case, Fish (David Fisher, Senior Spirits Blender), so we asked if he would allow us to be a fly on the wall during a conversation between himself and another blender. He suggested a chat with Spirits Blender Silvia Segato, who has developed a reputation as the team’s botanical blending specialist.By Elisha KennedyRead more
