Following the release of the Red Gum Smoked Single Malt Whisky in early 2022, as the first exploratory trial, the Stringybark Smoked Single Malt Whisky marks the second phase and a benchmark for subsequent Archie Rose smoked whiskies. Born from a long-held commitment to craft a quintessential smoked whisky, this limited release is Australian in both technique and flavour. Fulfilling a goal to replace Scottish peated malt with Australian wood smoked malt, the Stringybark Smoked Single Malt Whisky also speaks to the sustainability benefits of utilising local native wood and is crafted from a five-malt mash bill, including a local malt that has been roasted or smoked with wood from the native stringybark tree, making it one of only a few Australian wood-smoked malts ever made or released.

Tasting Notes

Juicy mandarin, campfire smoke and marzipan make way for smoked meats, gardenias and scotch finger biscuits.

Palate

Broad and mouth-coating mouthfeel with yuzu, shortbread and smoked meats, nuanced with almond brittle and cardamom syrup.

Finish

Moreish and complex; mandarins and campfire smoke with hints of ginseng and dark caramel.
