Tasting Notes
Nose
Immediately offers sun-dried apricots, preserved peaches and handmade honeycomb, laced with sultanas. A second pass yields, muesli, roasted nuts and chalk. The background teases lurking cacao and dark chocolate.
Palate
A soft entry and syrupy texture delivers an unctuous mouthfeel. The sweetness of sultanas is prominent, yet balanced by dryness delivered from the malt. This makes way for flavours of amaretto and espresso, building the intensity to a crescendo.
Finish
Evolving with a satisfying dryness with a whisper of smoke.

Local & Ethically Sourced Ingredients
Our Single Malt Whisky has been matured predominantly in 100, 200 and 300-litre Australian apera casks, complemented by a selection of ex-bourbon and Archie Rose’s own 36-month air-dried casks, each coopered with a specific balance of both char and toast - with the latter being unusual in the realm of distilling where the lower heat and longer duration toasting process penetrates further into the oak of the cask and offers an entirely different level of complexity than casks that only feature a more traditional char.
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.
A specialty malt that provides rich and intense flavours of coffee and dark chocolate.
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.
