Archie Rose Distilling Co. is an Australian independent distillery located in Rosebury, Australia, a few kilometres south of Sydney CBD. The distillery produces a range of spirits including gin, vodka, whisky and rum.

History

Archie Rose Distilling Co. was founded in Sydney by Will Edwards in 2014. Edwards began research in 2012, with visits to New York distilleries,[1] [2] [3] and through meetings with other Australian distillers.[4] [5]

Upon returning to Sydney, Edwards commissioned Peter Bailly, Australia's only still maker at the time, to hand-build three copper pot stills which are steam heated by a gas-powered steam boiler.[6] [7]

Archie Rose launched in March 2015 as both a Distillery and Bar located in Rosebery, Sydney. The company initially produced three spirits, Signature Dry Gin, Original Vodka and White Rye—though casks of Rye and Single Malt Whisky were laid down early, with the Archie Rose whiskies launching in 2019 and 2020 respectively.[8]

As a multi-spirit distillery, Archie Rose now produces whisky, gin, vodka and rum across two ranges, including the Signature Range and Fundamental Spirits range. The Signature Range features Signature Dry Gin, Distiller’s Strength Gin, Native Botanical Vodka, Rye Malt Whisky, Single Malt Whisky and White Cane, and the Fundamental Spirits range features True Cut Vodka, Double Malt Whisky and Straight Dry Gin, along with a range of Bottled Cocktails and pre-mix whisky, gin and vodka cans.[9]

In 2020, Archie Rose moved its distillery operations to Banksmeadow, Sydney.[10] The original Rosebery distillery, located next to the Archie Rose Bar, was converted into an event space where spirits experiences are hosted every week, including Blend Your Own Gin Classes, Cocktail Masterclasses, and more.

Archie Rose has received numerous awards including World’s Best Rye Whisky for its Rye Malt Whisky (three-time winner), eight times Australia’s best Single Malt Whisky, World’s Best Unaged Whisky, World’s Best International Contemporary Gin, World’s Best Vodka, World’s Best Brand Identity, Australia’s Most Innovative Company and Best International Bar.[11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]

Edwards himself has been named Global Young Achiever of the Year by Spirits Business in 2020 and a Forbes 30 under 30 winner.[19] [20]
