I've had a go at 2 Archie Roses' The Rye Malt and the Good(e) Whisk(e)y. Both unique.... and would gladly go back to them and others from their range. AL
Hi Wade. I've tried the Goodradigbee Distillers ‘Jarrah Wood Cask’, ‘Ironbark Yellow Cask’, ‘Ironbark Red’, and ‘Tasmanian Blackwood’ single malts. I can't say they were fantastic, partly due to low ABV and a thin youngness. The Archie Rose ‘Red Gum’ sounds better. I'll look out for a pour somewhere or a sample maybe. Cheers.
Tried this whiskey at the whiskey live event in St Kilda. I enjoyed it but the one that stood out for me was the Archie rose smoked heritage rye malt whisky. So different loads of dark chocolate, dry on the finish. Lots going on
Terroir is interesting. I like that distilleries try and put their mark on the expressions by trying different things. Unfortunately, it comes at a high cost. Nice job Wade.
Believe it or not this is actually an affordable Australian whisky compared to other expressions from this country. It is an expensive place for a whisky lover my friend! Thanks for checking it out.
I love trying new things like this! Whether they turn out to be good or bad doesn't matter with these unique whiskies. Yeah great if it tastes good but even if it doesn't, the fact that you've tried something so unique so interesting is reward enough. Chances are I'll never try this whisky but I did enjoy the whole review. Congratulations on the Single Malt Monthly, already subscribed! Cheers brother 🥃
100% agree, unique experiences in whisky are fascinating. I am happy to send you a sample of this if you would like? Also, thank you for signing up to The Single Malt Monthly, will be keen for your feedback. I gave you a shout out and link to your channel in last month's edition 👌
@@McIntyresMalts That is very kind of you thank you but it's very hard to send anything to Türkiye due to the customs laws. Yeah no problem man but how I do read last month's edition? I must've forgot to subscribe before this time 🤦♂️
Thank you my friend, yes I know it can be challenging when I review less accessible whiskies, but I have asked Archie Rose to let me know if they are exporting their whiskies, so hopefully I can come back to you soon with an answer. Cheers Ethan 🥃
Hey Ethan, spoke again with Archie Rose and they are not currently available outside of Australia, but they have informed me that they are currently working on exporting them to foreign markets, so hopefully soon!
I have tried Rye Stringybark. I thought it's unique, friends thought it tasted like ointment. Am curious to try this despite the mixed reaction to the previous one.
50-50 is still good odds. I have tried their Red Gum smoked and Stringy Bark smoked and absolutely loved them both for similar reasons of connection to home.
Yes, its expensive for a 2-3 year old, but looks and sounds fantastic! I'm a huge fan of Starward, so would love to try this. Different is good! Any idea if they got any plans to distribute to the UK Wade?

Thanks for sharing this whisky with us, Wade. It's not one I have any experience with. Love hearing about different manifestations of terroir influence.
If you know Australian whisky this is not expensive believe it or not 😢 Many of our releases (unless they are the Starward or Morris) are typically $250 for only 500ml, so $219 for 700ml of a globally unique limited edition whisky with a one of a kind flavour profile... it's a fair price. For context Archie Rose's standard single malt offering is $120 AUD. Thanks for checking it out!
@@McIntyresMalts Wade i understand , but when there a 10-13 yo limited edition good Scotch whisky for 100-120$ , i will refrain from buing 2 yo Avstralian and New Zeland whisky .Don't be offended , thiss is my opinion ) Good luck !
I like the irony of The Castle reference Wayne 😉 It's not always about the age my friend, this tastes remarkable and in a blind NO ONE would be able to tell me this is a 2-3 year old whisky. At the end of the day we are all chasing the best flavour we can find are we not? Not the oldest whisky 😉

They are definitely innovating!

They are doing some really cool unique stuff aren’t they!?
Yes good to see them trying to put their own stamp on whisky . Always enjoy trying something new🥃

Great review, Wade! Sounds very interesting, would love to try it - going to be tricky over here in the United States, though!

@@McIntyresMalts The smell of gum tree is uniquely Australian.
Geez Wade, I hope it's good, I've just ordered a bottle off your reaction ! Sipping an Amber Lane PX right now :)
Hope you enjoy it Hamo, it’s definitely like nothing else I’ve tried.
Sounds very interesting indeed - shame I'll never get to try it all the way over here...
Never say never my friend! This industry is young in Australia and expanding, in time I'm sure it will make its way around the world!

Expensive.....200$ i can buy 2 bottle wery good whisky ))) Wade Slainte !
