Trials & Exceptions #21, Marionette Orange Curaçao Single Malt Whisky

We’ve known the folks down at Marionette Liqueur for years — hospitality is a small world, and our Melbourne team now happily share a workspace with some of them. When our Master Distiller, Dave Withers, brought up the idea of using Marionette’s barrels from their Orange Curaçao to finish a limited edition Archie Rose whisky, it instantly sparked the team’s curiosity.

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

Tailored Spirits: A Sensory Lab Focus

You’ll often hear us saying that we're all about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in spirits. We say it because we mean it, and because we think the way we make our Tailored Spirits truly captures this ethos. Born from our Sensory Lab, our Tailored Spirits offering is about so much more than just creating great gifts—it's a revolutionary approach to making gin, vodka, and whisky that allows you to design your own individual blend of spirits, from liquid to label.

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

Ten Years of Archie Rose Whisky

This year, we’re celebrating ten big years of Archie Rose, which means ten big years of whisky-making, too. Our history with whisky is long and storied.

A Brief History of Archie Rose Gins

In 2013, Archie Rose founder Will Edwards set about figuring out why Sydney didn't have a distillery. A year later, Archie Rose swung open its doors in Rosebery, Sydney and set about to bring the highest quality Australian whiskies, gins and other spirits to the world. Over ten years in business, we’ve made a lot of gin. Gin is one of our home spirits we’ll never tire of producing and experimenting with. Here, we look back on some of the great and award-winning gins we’ve made over the years. By Elisha KennedyRead more
