Archie Rose Sunrise Lime Gin (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 40% Age: No Age Statement Country: Australia
The Archie Rose distillery was first established in 2015 by Will Edwards who had taken inspiration from visits in 2012 to distilleries in New York and Brooklyn. Gaining knowledge from local distilleries in Tasmania and from some of the pioneers of Australian distilling (Bill Lark, Peter Bignell to name a few) Edwards enlisted Peter Bailly (Australia’s only still maker at that time) to hand build three copper pot stills which were powered by gas and used steam to heat the wash.
The key in the Archie Rose success story is the appointment of Dave Withers, Master Distiller. This was Dave’s first role as head of distilling and he had a lot to prove to his critics on not only how well he could distill but how innovative he could be. Producing a new style Australian whisky that was one day going to empower the world is not a task taken lightly by Dave or Edwards for that matter.
Sunrise Lime Gin Harvest 2020 is the second spirit from our vintage series that celebrates the bounty and diversity of Australia’s annual harvest. This time, our Harvest Gin heroes native sunrise lime, a hybrid citrus fruit grown by Mark and Vickie at Marvick Native Farms in Western Australia. Bountiful sunrise lime delivers the distinctive aroma of herbaceous yet vibrant lime and is complemented beautifully by unripe orange zest and mandarin peel. Expect a gin bursting with generous citrus and flavours of kumquat, spearmint and mango sorbet.
