Wattleseed Smoked Cask Single Malt Whisky
$219Introducing Wattleseed Smoked Cask Single Malt Whisky, the first in a new four-part Archie Rose Smoked Cask Series.
Unlike the traditional method of smoking malts, we’ve partnered with one of Australia's most respected coopers to smoke our single malt maturation casks with native wattleseed, along with a range of other favourite botanicals. This innovative technique imparts a discreet smoke and nuanced aroma, allowing the rich botanical spirit to shine.
This bold yet beautifully balanced whisky reveals notes of bacon cooked over a campfire, roasted macadamia, and a caramel fudge profile on the palate.
Limited to 535 bottles.

Finish
Discreet smoke with a long and complex interplay of biscuit, fruit, roasted nuts and smokey bacon.
Local & Ethically Sourced Ingredients
Collaborating with one of Australia’s most respected coopers, we gently smoked Archie Rose Single Malt casks with iconic natural ingredients to create a truly distinctive series that continues our exploration of uniquely Australian smoked whisky.
The casks used to mature this single malt were smoked with native Australian wattleseed, delivering a whisky with notes of hazelnuts, Anzac biscuits and discreet smoke.
We collaborated with a multi-generational Australian family cooperage to carefully smoke the inside of our empty whisky casks with a range of botanicals. This patient process allows the flavour of each botanical to infuse into the timber itself, and in turn, to the whisky during maturation.
Wattle seeds need fire to germinate, so in burning this uniquely Australian ingredient to smoke our whisky casks, we're giving life to a whole new layer of flavour, and a whole new style of Australian single malt whisky.
Malted in NSW using locally sourced barley and Australian native stringybark wood smoke. Rich, smoky notes of Australian campfire and prosciutto.
