Choosing a Tasting Experience

For a drinks experience in the Eastern Suburbs that is about how a spirit is made, the place to look is the region's inner-south edge: Archie Rose Distilling Co. distils whisky, gin, vodka and rum at 61 Mentmore Avenue in Rosebery, below Alexandria and Zetland. It suits groups who want a hosted, hands-on session with something to show for it, more than a round of drinks at a bar. Reasons groups head to the Rosebery distillery:

  • Spirits made on site for over a decade, tasted where they are produced
  • A take-home gin or whisky that each guest blends and bottles
  • Sessions held among the working equipment of the original distillery
  • Room for groups of up to 25 on a tour and up to 30 in a blending class
  • A bar and cellar door to continue at once the session wraps up

Prices start from $29 per person. All guests must be 18 or over under the liquor licence.
