Archie Rose x St. Ali Blasphemy Coffee Whisky
Archie Rose x St. Ali Blasphemy Coffee Whisky
We’ve joined forces with Melbourne’s acclaimed ST. ALi coffee roasters to bring you Blasphemy: a Coffee Whisky spirit that blends our award-winning Single Malt Whisky and ST. ALi Orthodox & Wide Awake Coffee. Blasphemy showcases both the unique Archie Rose six malt mash bill and the roasted notes from ST. ALi’s blends. The coffee notes have amplified our Single Malt Whisky’s chocolate and specialty roasted malts to create an even richer and more expressive flavour profile than the sum of its parts.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Opening with barley sugar, plum jam and tarte tatin. These bright notes transition into a generous combination of roasted hazelnuts, cacao and freshly ground espresso. Marzipan, honeycomb and sassafras provide an enticing backdrop.
Palate
Initially smooth, the palate opens into a mouth-filling generosity. Sweet creme caramel, roasted banana and fresh blackberries are counterpointed dramatically by the dryness of the roasted coffee beans and malt. This then launches into waves of amaretto, dark chocolate, candied citrus peel and coconut oil.
Finish
Complex and dry, with Christmas pudding, espresso and a hint of smoke.
