Archive Stock - Ironbark Smoked Rye Malt Whisky
About
Since 2014, we've archived a case or two of every Australian spirit we've produced at both our Rosebery and Botany Distilleries. To celebrate our tenth birthday, from 21 October we'll be dropping a limited selection of this archival stock via our website, giving you the opportunity to grab a final bottle of your favourite Archie Rose spirit.
Released in November 2019, Ironbark Smoked Rye Malt Whisky was our second limited edition whisky release, drawn from seven casks as the fifth release under the now retired Archie Rose Concepts label, reserved for our rarest and most experimental products.
A sequel to the Smoked Gin launched in March 2019, this whisky features smoked water created by melting huge blocks of ice in the wood-fired oven of our mates, Three Blue Ducks, using sustainably sourced NSW ironbark.
Master Distiller Dave Withers explored using varying amounts of smoked water, settling on a low 40% ABV to best highlight the water-soluble smoked notes. Unfiltered with its natural haze, this spirit invites conversation about the role of filtration in whisky production.
