Local & Ethically Sourced Ingredients

Highlighting the contemporary tradition of using Australian fortified wine casks, this whisky headlines locally sourced rare and speciality malts nurtured from seed to the bottle, as a true expression of the modern Australian provenance and ingenuity that underpins Archie Rose’s award-winning range of malt whiskies.

Apera CaskOrigin: Australia

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.

Bourbon CaskOrigin: United States

This is an American Oak cask that's been seasoned with Bourbon whisky and quite often it's heavily charred. It's known for the same flavour profile as Virgin American Oak with some additional sweet flavours that are more subtle and nuanced.

NSW Pale MaltOrigin: La Trobe, New South Wales
Ancient Black MaltOrigin: Barellan, NSW

Grown in central New South Wales, this ancient variety of malt yields an umami flavour combination as well as notes of stone fruit.
