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][4] and through meetings with other Australian distillers.[5][6]

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.[7][8]

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.[9]

Archie Rose has produced spirits such as gins, whiskies, vodkas, rums, and others.

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.

Archie Rose received a range of awards at the Icons of Gin awards in London in 2023, including Distiller of the year.[11][12]
