Single Malt Whisky. French Oak, Ex-Sherry Cask

Single Malt Whisky. Lightly Peated, American Oak, Ex-Port Cask

Discover our Australian Single Malt Whisky, honoured with the title of Best Single Malt Whisky at the 2022 Australian Distilled Spirits Awards. Handcrafted from a blend of three varieties of premium Australian malted barley, this whisky is aged in high-quality Australian corn whisky barrels.

With an unwavering belief that malt provides a potent and vital contribution to the final flavour profile of our whisky, Archie Rose Single Malt Whisky is distinctly crafted to highlight six malts, each with a unique profile and character. This six-malt mash bill, although incredibly low yielding, provides a rich and expressive flavour, full of distinct regional character. Matured predominantly in 100, 200 and 300-litre Australian Apera (Sherry) casks, complemented by a selection of Ex-Bourbon and Archie Rose’s own 36-month air dried Ex-Rye Casks, each cooperated with a specific balance of both char and toast. The natural sweetness of these casks complements the savoury charisma of the spirit, revealing fresh herbs, shortbread biscuits, raisins, toffee and dark chocolate on the nose. Meanwhile, the palate is luscious with well-integrated flavours of sticky date pudding and amaretto with a final note of espresso.

Treat yourself to a delightful fusion of bold whisky flavours and the elegant, fruit-driven Chardonnay characteristics. It's refreshingly mouth-filling with nutty and citrus undertones. With a perfectly balanced structure, this whisky retains concentration and complexity. Smooth lingering finish & well-integrated congeners make it an exceptional Whisky. Adopting a typical full-bodied style, this whisky will please those who love Australian whisky with its generosity, weight, and considerable depth of flavour. Whiskey aged in Chardonnay barrels presents a unique and captivating sensory experience, blending the robust character of whiskey with the nuanced influence of Chardonnay wine.

Experience the unparalleled taste of our distinctive Australian Rye Whisky, meticulously crafted with a harmonious blend of heritage rye grain, winter wheat, malted barley, and chocolate malt. Aged to perfection for four years in an ex-Shiraz barrel, this whisky boasts a flavour profile that is both captivating and complex.

To create this truly unique whisky, we 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. Our 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.

The Quintessence Single Malt Whisky was exclusively crafted by Old Kempton Distillery and matured in small 20L Australian Tawny Casks until ready to savour. The complexity of the whisky was further evolved in 300L and 500L exclusive and rare Tawny Port casks from the heart of the Douro Valley, Portugal. The result of Quintessence is a complex, rose gold Tasmanian Whisky with notes of coconut, nutmeg and poached pears. Awarded Bronze at the 2022 International Wine & Spirit Competition. The judges noted the Single Malt Whisky to have a “punchy palate of banana and strawberry sundae drizzled with caramel. Sweet and pleasant.”

Single Malt Whisky. American Oak, Ex-Port Cask.

This spirit is a celebration of the rich and complex characters that oak can impart to a malt spirit during maturation

We aim to maintain a continuous stock of this whisky as it represents what we love best. A mash-bill of four different malts, three from Griffiths NSW, one of which is roasted to chocolate, together with a heavily peated malt from the Scottish borders in the UK. The cuts are deep to give the heavy, oily spirit we’re looking for. Aged in small-format ex-bourbon barrels from Kentucky, re-coopered here in Australia. We hope you enjoy

After the customer feedback from our cask strength special release ‘Full Noise’ we have decided to make it part of our core range. The same distinctive spirit and ex-bourbon finish sweetness of our O'Grady's whisky, Full Noise is bottled straight from what we feel are ‘stand-out’ barrels.

Most Australian whisky distilleries focus on ex-fortified or wine-barrel ageing, however we made it our early ambition to become Australia’s ex-bourbon single malt specialist. We produce one of the most distinctive new-make spirits and aim for cask influence to balance this rather than it becoming the star of show. American Oak is much more suited for this. That said we have also had some incredible results with fortified barrels as fans of our blue French oak line will know. This has now come to an end and we’re super excited to release a new member of the core line, the Double Wood. The first barrels we filled back in 2018 were 3 gorgeous old Portuguese tawny port barriques. At our in-house tasting these have consistently been our favourite barrels. What we love is that their size has given the spirit an elegant French Oak complexity with just a very subtle fortified richness. We’ve married this with the first of our larger format ex-bourbon barrels. This ensures that whilst the toffee’s, vanillas and caramels which our whisky in known for are still very much the star of the show, the French oak complexity adds another level of detail.

Introducing a full-bodied, rich single malt whisky, matured in ex-Port fortified wine casks from Porto, Portugal.

With luxurious blends of flavours such as blackberry, dried figs, cinnamon, nuts, and chocolate, this vibrant whisky offers a silky-smooth finish. The quality ex-oak casks previously held an assortment of ports, including Ruby, White, Tawny, and Madeira, which contribute to the whisky's viscous, oily, and silky texture. Experience the unbeatable charm of Invicta, a whisky that masterfully combines both colour and flavour to create a truly memorable indulgence.

Introducing a velvety rich single malt, dark in colour and matured in ex-fortified wine casks from Spain and Portugal.

The former Wardour Castle inn is the first stop in our heritage series which offers a tour through Oatlands' most iconic buildings weaving a tale of dark by deeply colourful history. Like their namesakes, each cask matured whisky in this series is complex, intriguing and essentially flavoured by time. The former Warder Castle Inn, now a two-storey stone residence, stands with a commanding presence at Oatlands’ Southern End. Its striking iron hip roof, carefully chiselled stone quoins, and a stately five-bay facade tells takes of a historical significance. Together with its stone outbuildings, the property forms a charming courtyard, echoing whispers of bygone merriment and revelry. Edmund White, The original innkeeper, was known for his generous spirit, stretching the licensing rules and turning the inn into a vibrant social hub, hosting committee meetings for the Oatlands races, public balls and even patrons resistant to leave after-hours with statements like, “Surely you won’t stop me now, I’ve come seven miles for this!” Today, as a private residence, this former inn still retains its historical charm reflected in the essence of this limited edition whisky - a tribute to resilience transformation, and enduring charisma.
