Choosing a Tasting Experience

Gin and whisky are the focus on Mentmore Avenue, where Archie Rose Distilling Co. runs a bar, cellar door and hands-on spirits programme inside its distillery in Rosebery, the inner-south suburb below Alexandria and Zetland. Sessions take place in the Still Room, part of the original distillery, so the equipment that makes the spirits is right beside the tasting table. Ways to taste and blend at the distillery:

  • Gin blending – build a gin from individual botanical distillates and hand-fill two 200ml bottles to take home
  • Whisky blending – the same idea with single malt components, steering towards smoky, fruity or malty
  • A distillery tour of about an hour, ending in a tasting
  • Guided flights of five gins or five whiskies
  • Private versions of any of these arranged with the venues team

Experiences start from $29 per person, and the liquor licence means every guest must be 18 or over, with no exceptions for accompanied minors.

  • Quickest – the hour-long tour and tasting suits a group short on time

  • Something to keep – blenders leave with two bottles of their own gin or whisky
