Archie Rose Bone Dry Gin (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 44% Age: No Age Statement Country: Australia
The Archie Rose distillery was first established in 2015 by Will Edwards who had taken inspiration from visits in 2012 to distilleries in New York and Brooklyn. Gaining knowledge from local distilleries in Tasmania and from some of the pioneers of Australian distilling (Bill Lark, Peter Bignell to name a few) Edwards enlisted Peter Bailly (Australia’s only still maker at that time) to hand build three copper pot stills which were powered by gas and used steam to heat the wash.
The key in the Archie Rose success story is the appointment of Dave Withers, Master Distiller. This was Dave’s first role as head of distilling and he had a lot to prove to his critics on not only how well he could distill but how innovative he could be. Producing a new style Australian whisky that was one day going to empower the world is not a task taken lightly by Dave or Edwards for that matter.
Created as a true homage to gin’s foremost botanical, Bone Dry Gin reverently showcases juniper’s raw power to deliver a hedonistic encounter with a bracingly dry finish. As the first gin released from our new Banksmeadow Distillery, this limited-edition spirit exemplifies the innovation made possible by our one-of-a-kind copper vacuum stills.
