Archie Rose Red Gum Smoked Single Malt - 53%ABV - 30ml

From the Distillery Website -

The seventh release under our Trials and Exceptions label, and the first in a two-part series, this exceptional whisky represents a milestone in both our history and our quest to source all our seven malts from within NSW.

With only 2,005 bottles in existence Red Gum Smoked Single Malt Whisky uses native NSW red gum to smoke the NSW grown and malted barley from our friends at Voyager Craft Malt. It pays tribute to one of Australia’s most majestic eucalypt trees and offers heady flavours redolent of campfire smoke, smoked meat, ripe nectarine, fresh jasmine and lavender with a subtle salty edge.

Born from a long-held commitment to craft a quintessential smoked whisky, Australian in both technique and flavour, fulfilling a goal to replace Scottish peated malt with Australian wood smoked malt, it is crafted from a five-malt mash bill, including a local malt infused with native red gum wood smoke, and aged for two years in Australian Apera casks.
