Wattleseed Smoked Cask Single Malt Whisky
Wattleseed Smoked Cask Single Malt Whisky
Since 2014, we've archived a case or two of every Australian spirit we've produced at both our Rosebery and Botany Distilleries. We're now dropping a limited selection of this archive stock online, giving you the opportunity to grab a final bottle of your favourite Archie Rose spirit.
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.
Flavour profile
Nose
Campfire, pork crackling, dark roasted coffee beans, malty caramel fudge and more subtle notes of peach skins, lanolin and lantana stem.
