Archive Stock - Single Cask Whisky Batch No. 1: Single Malt Whisky
$389Since 2014, we've archived a case or two of every Australian spirit we've produced at both our Rosebery and Botany Distilleries. We're now dropping a limited selection of this archive stock online, giving you the opportunity to grab a final bottle of your favourite Archie Rose spirit.
As our signature style, we wanted to release a cask of Archie Rose Single Malt Whisky as part of our first Single Cask series, and with the most concentrated flavour profile of any barrel we’ve ever tasted, this whisky is the perfect candidate. The flavour profile sits happily in 'sherry-bomb' territory, with luxurious levels of fruit and complexity.
Only 94 bottles made.

Local & Ethically Sourced Ingredients
An incredible example of what makes our signature whisky so special, this single cask of Archie Rose Single Malt Whisky offers layer upon layer of malt-driven flavours, excellent fruit profile and a beautifully balanced apera cask influence. At four and a half years old and full cask strength, the concentration of flavours makes this whisky both powerful and incredibly complex.
It unveils a palate rich in almond, espresso, cacao and luxurious waves of concentrated sticky fruit.
Australian apera is a fortified wine similar to Spanish sherry. It's used to season American or French Oak casks, offering a flavour profile that's usually made up of nutty and dried fruit notes like figs and prunes.
Our pale malt speaks to the Australian land where it was grown, delivering tropical fruit flavours with floral overtones.
Our local amber malt is made by roasting kilned malt which leads to a drier finish. it offers a light, biscuity flavour and dark reddish brown hues.
Batch roasted to bestow a rich cereal character, this malt delivers notes of pastry and the aroma of caramel fudge.
