Archie Rose Rye Malt Whisky Batch 1 - Bowel Cancer Australia

Bowel Cancer Charity Lot Archie Rose Rye Malt Whisky Batch 1 - Bowel Cancer Australia

To create this truly unique whisky, they selectively sourced rare malted rye and the finest malted barley from progressive malt houses, paired them with virgin American oak casks air-dried for 36 months and let it all mature in the maritime air of coastal Sydney. Their preference for malted rye over the far more commonly used unmalted rye affords this whisky a point of distinction evident upon the very first sip. This layered, aromatic spirit offers notes of spiced custard, ginger, stone fruit and baked apple pie with a fresh herbal finish that lingers on the palate. 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. (Official Archie Rose Website).

What is Bowel Cancer?

Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer and the deadliest cancer for Australians aged 25-44. Shockingly, 15,531 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year, and it claims more lives than breast cancer or prostate cancer, affecting men and women almost equally. However, with early detection, almost 99% of cases can be successfully treated.

Archie Rose

Founded in 2014 by William Edwards, Archie Rose produces a range of award winning spirits including gin, vodka, rum, rye whisky and single malt whisky. After visiting a number of distilleries in the USA in 2012, Will ventured to Tasmania to learn hands on whisky producing skills before bringing them back home. In 2015 the Archie Rose distillery and bar was opened in Rosebury, Sydney. Three copper pot stills heated by steam were created by Australian stillmaker Peter Bailley specially for Archie Rose and have allowed the distilling team to create a variety of spirits and malt types simultaneously. They have been picking up awards for their products from 2017 when their white rye, vodka and signature gin competed in the US awards circuit. This success allowed for the construction of an additional distillery space in Banksmeadow that was completed in 2020. This new distillery space is one of the most innovative sites anywhere in the world and is now Australia’s largest distillery. 
 
Archie Rose released their very first single malt at the end of 2020 and their first batch of malt rye whisky in early 2019. These whiskies are much more unique than their global counterparts. Where typical rye whisky is made using a combination of malted barley and unmalted rye grains and then aged in a virgin oak cask, Archie Rose elect to use a 100% malted barley mash bill before maturing the whisky for 36 months in a virgin oak cask. The same care over grains is applied to their single malt production with a six malt mash bill being the core of their new make. They then mature the malt whisky in a combination of ex-apera casks, ex-bourbon and even their own ex-rye casks. Their innovation into heritage grains and complex mashbills has created a reputation for Archie Rose as being the centre of innovation in Australia.
