Archie Rose has released the sustainably sourced Stringybark Smoked Single Malt Whisky – one of very few Australian wood-smoked malts ever made. This drop is a milestone in Archie Rose’s quest to source all seven malts from within NSW. The whisky is Aussie through and through – both in technique and flavour. This is the eleventh release in the ‘Trials & Exceptions’ series and the second in a two-part exploration that pays tribute to Australia’s majestic eucalypt trees. With only 2450 bottles in existence you’ll need to get in quick, Stringybark Smoked Single Malt Whisky is available online for $199.
