Introducing Lavender Smoked Cask Single Malt Whisky, the fourth and final release in the Archie Rose Smoked Cask Series. Each of the four whiskies in this series showcases a different natural ingredient, each offering its own unique character to the whisky. Lavender Smoked Cask Single Malt Whisky offers a sweet and savoury combination of Tuscan lavender, smoked meats and cashews, delivering a sophisticated finale to the smoked-cask whisky collection. “Lavender is a really powerful aroma,” says Master Distiller Dave Withers, “so we balanced that with our native stringybark-smoked malt to offer robust smoke to balance that lavender perfume.”

“I think this is a whisky people are going to want to come back to again and again,” says Withers, “because it delivers so much on the concept. It’s up-front and bold, with plenty of that signature Archie Rose Aussie campfire smokiness, along with a dry and savoury palate and a meatiness in the background that offers structure and body - a perfect stage on which the lavender can perform.”
