Our Five Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Whisky is assertive exploration of our signature six-malt mash bill, shaped by over five years in a single 120L Australian Apera cask.

The Nose: Opens with a vibrant layer of chinotto, blood orange rind, and homemade chocolate sauce, shifting into the refined aromatics of well-aged cognac and soft herbs.

The Palate: A texturally focused entry that broadens into a rich display of sweet to***co, praline truffles, and hazelnut brittle, grounded by dense notes of dates and fig jam.

The Finish: A powerful, singular conclusion defined by its immense depth and enduring power.

Introducing our Five-Year Old Single Malt Whisky, a release brimming with exceptional individual character.

A testament to the complexity that can be achieved within a single cask, this release is an assertive and engaging exploration of our signature six-malt mash bill. 

Matured for over five years in a 120L Australian Apera cask, the spirit has been bottled at a robust 73.9% ABV, offering a high-octane experience that remains remarkably poised.

With only 87 bottles drawn from the cask, this is a rare and singular opportunity to secure a landmark piece of our distilling history.

Behind the scenes, we’re constantly monitoring how 35,000 casks are maturing in the Australian heat. It’s a process of patience, until we pull a sample that stops us in our tracks.

🥃 Raw Rye Whisky (R8667B): Muscular and raw.

🥃 Six-Year-Old Single Malt (SM1827): A new pinnacle of our craft.

🥃 Five-Year-Old Single Malt (SM2689): Exceptional individual character.

Happy World Bee Day from our bees to yours. 🐝

Onsite at our Botany distillery we have eight different hives of hard-working little pollinators of our own, with a population that waxes and wanes between an estimated 160,000 to over 640,000 busy bees, harvesting honey that eventually get turned into jars of honey, and when we can, we distill it into a good drop of Australian spirit such as Eau De Bee, Raw Honey Gin and Distiller’s Strength Gin. 

These European honey bees (or Apis mellifera if you go by their scientific name) have been rescued and rehomed to Archie Rose, and have grown from small swarms to thriving, honey metropolises.

Our Banksmeadow team had an extraordinary session with hive caretaker John from , chatting about the importance of bees, and the role they play in our wonderful Australian ecosystem that we strive to take care of. This is just a snippet of that experience.

If you want to learn more about our bees, or the spirits we create with them, head to archierose.com.au or if you’d like to know more about how you can get involved in beekeeping yourself, visit profile to learn more.

The fourth and final release of our Smoked Cask Whisky Series - Lavender Smoked Cask Single Malt Whisky - is officially available for purchase.

For those who have followed this experimental journey from the start, this finale delivers a spirit of singular intensity and Master Distiller Dave’s favourite of the series. By smoking the cask itself rather than the grain, we’ve created a bold, aromatic profile where Tuscan lavender meets the rugged soul of an Australian campfire.

Expect a sophisticated blend of smoked meats, cashews, and signature smoke on the palate, and a commanding performance from the lavender that lingers long after the first sip.

Secure your bottle now https://pulse.ly/yh9kq0xkj1 or at the Archie Rose Cellar Door in Rosebery, and complete the series before it’s gone for good.

We’ve got some huge news straight out of the London Spirits Competition this week. Our Rye Malt Whisky has officially been crowned Rye Whisky of the Year! 🥃

"In years gone by, our Rye Malt Whisky has achieved some truly remarkable wins. Achieving the 2026 Best Rye Whisky award truly recognises our deep focus on quality, which we achieve through careful custom cask selection, meticulous on-site cooperation, local sourcing and longer maturation times, among other initiatives. Truly, the Rye Malt whisky is positioning itself as one of the best rye whiskies available in the world. The team could not be prouder that their hard work was recognised in this way." - Dave Withers, Master Distiller

Our vision for whisky has always been to speak of our experience as Australians, utilise the incredible raw materials available to us, and strive for genuine innovation in what is typically an extremely traditional industry. We work with local growers to revive heritage rye and barley strains, which together create malt crop volume and diversity to support our products and the future growth of the Australian whisky industry.

We invite you to enjoy our Rye Malt Whisky in the spirit it was created: to be savoured in good company and served the way you like; and if you have a bottle of our Rye Malt Whisky on the shelf at home, it’s time for a cheers to Australian spirits with the World’s Best Rye Whisky.

23/04/2026

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 has showcased a different natural ingredient through smoke, 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.

As described by our Master Distiller Dave Withers, “Lavender is a really powerful aroma, so we balanced that with our native stringybark-smoked malt to offer robust smoke to balance that lavender perfume.” Truth be told, this is Dave’s favourite of the four whiskies in the series.

“I think this is a whisky people are going to want to come back to again and again, 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.”

Lavender Smoked Cask Single Malt Whisky will be available for tasting and purchase at the Archie Rose Open Day on 27 April, and online at https://pulse.ly/jfwv2kvtjz on 28 April.

The Saint Peter Gin label is a masterclass in patience by our own Jodi Ho**er (Senior Design, Packaging & Creative Manager). To honour Saint Peter’s "whole-fish" philosophy, Jodi created this hyper-real illustration of a John Dory dissection by hand. A raw, beautiful celebration of ocean life.

It’s more than a label; it’s a reflection of the shared soul between Archie Rose and Saint Peter. If you have a bottle at home, take a moment to lean in and explore the incredible detail.

While the bottle is sold out online, you can still experience the spirit at Saint Peter in Paddington, perfectly mixed on their curated cocktail list.

Say hello to the artists behind our latest Creator Series release: Australian Opal Gin.

Linda Jackson is a pioneering Australian designer celebrated for her romantic, handcrafted garments that honour Australia’s landscape, history, and multicultural influences. Often collaborating with artists and Indigenous communities, her work is known for intricate detailing, natural fibres, and a deep respect for storytelling through textiles.

Jenny Kee is an iconic Australian fashion designer and artist known for her bold use of colour, native flora and fauna motifs, and expressive knitwear. Rising to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s, she helped define a distinctly Australian visual identity through her label ‘Flamingo Park’, blending art, fashion, and cultural storytelling.

We had the pleasure of chatting to both Jenny and Linda, describing how their artworks syncopate in this limited-edition label.

“Jenny's scarf was created for the NGA when it opened in the early 1980s, and Wildflower was created in the mid-1970s, so it’s incredible to see both artworks like this together in 2026.” - Jenny Kee

“The scarf [Oz Opal Scarf] is really a love letter to the Australian environment – all its colours and hues. Linda’s Wildflowers are also a love letter to the beautiful landscape, and when brought together they just sing. Our collaborations are rooted in a creative powerful connection that transcends time.” - Linda Jackson.

Welcoming our latest addition to our Creator Series: Australian Opal Gin, a vibrant, limited-edition release created in collaboration with the National Gallery of Australia.

Australian Opal Gin celebrates the pioneering work of Australian artists Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson, launching in commemoration of International Women’s Day, and in support of the National Gallery of Australia’s gender equality initiative, Know My Name.

This limited-edition label merges two of the artists' most famous pieces: Jenny Kee’s ‘Oz Opal Scarf’ and Linda Jackson’s ‘Wildflower Tunic’. Kee describes both artworks as “a love letter to the Australian environment”, and both are featured in the Know My Name exhibition. The name "Australian Opal Gin" was chosen specifically to honour the iridescent opal motifs that have recurred in both artists' work for years.

This gin offers a sophisticated nod to the Australian landscape with its classic dry profile, elevated by the inclusion of native Dorrigo pepperleaf, which provides a warm, savoury spice, and Sunrise lime for a bright, zesty citrus finish. Balanced with coriander seed, the result is a complex and bright spirit that mirrors the vibrancy of the artwork on the label.

In celebration of International Women’s Day 2026, we’re honoured to be bringing this one-of-a-kind gin to the world in celebration of two incredible Australian women.

There are only 250 bottles available, and they won’t be around for long.
Head to https://archierose.pulse.ly/yuhzmaqklf or drop into the Archie Rose Cellar Door in Rosebery, Sydney to secure your bottle today.

We’re celebrating another year of being the Official Gin Partner of Sydney Gay and Le***an Mardi Gras with artwork created by the incredible ENOKi aka Darcy McConnell ( on Instagram), a Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta artist based on Wurundjeri Country.

“I wanted to push the boundaries of traditional pride artworks that we’re used to seeing, and also push myself as an artist. This is definitely the most detailed work I’ve ever created. I took inspiration from native flowers from the Gadigal region to represent the colours of the progressive pride flag. These flowers are underpinned by the waterways of Warrane and the Blue Triangle Butterfly which emerges from its Chrysalis in the hot days of summer.”

Cheers to this incredible artwork, and cheers to Mardi Gras 2026!

Single Cask Whisky Batch #3 SM9917 Toasted Amber Single Malt is officially available now.

A spectacular union of malt, spirit and serendipity, this whisky epitomises the beauty found in rare single casks. Distilled from carefully selected toasted Australian amber malt, it was matured in an American oak ex-bourbon cask, resulting in a single malt whisky with an exceptional balance of sweet fruit and savoury malt.

The nose offers evocative aromas of sun-ripened passionfruit, cookies-and-cream ice cream, and jelly beans, while the palate delivers pineapple, cinnamon muffins, and Maltesers in a stunning display of rare quality.

This is an extremely limited drop, with only 280 bottles available.

Single Cask Whisky Batch #3 SM1231 Six Year Old Single Malt is available now.

This rare single cask of Single Malt Whisky has been matured in an Australian fortified wine (apera) cask for over six years. Hand-selected from thousands of thousands of casks for its bold, intense charm, this is also our first age-statement release. Having matured at a later stage than its sibling casks, it highlights the distinctive nature of this particular barrel.

It offers notes of dark chocolate-coated figs, raspberry jam, and pecan pie. The palate reveals flavours of French pastries, maple syrup, and a surprising flourish of floral elements.

“This six-year-old single cask represents a milestone for Archie Rose as our first-ever age-statement release. Hand-selected from tens of thousands of barrels as a superior expression of our whisky making, it highlights the character created by exceptional Australian grown malts and maturation in an Australian fortified wine cask over time.”

With only 130 bottles available, it won’t be around for long.

Six years is a long time to keep a secret.

We’ve been watching this single apera cask sit quietly in our bond stores, waiting for the exact moment it reached its peak. It was finally hand-selected from 45,000 casks, and is officially our first-ever age-statement whisky. Honestly? We think it was worth the wait.

This is one half of our upcoming Single Cask Series (Batch No. 3), dropping tomorrow.

We’re expecting this one to go quickly, so head to https://pulse.ly/pr13vbvslt to sign up for a launch reminder so you don’t miss out. 🥃
