We attended the Archie Rose distillery tour and tasting. It lasted about 1 hour and we got to sample 4 gins and 4 whiskies. It was a nice tour about the history and current vision of Archie rose. Some classics were made with an Australian touch. Some gins are limited run and can only be tried at the bar. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and interested in what they do. Bar are is incredible with a large selection of drinks. They are very helpful in recommending how to mix the specific product you may purchase. I’d recommend the tour and finishing off at the bar.

Brought my husband to the gin making class as a Christmas present and it was excellent! This is a nice experience for those looking to learn a bit about Archie Rose as a brand, or basic gin knowledge, or to have a different experience! The layout of the class was easy to follow and our instructor was charming and kind.

Just attended the Whisky making class led by Matt for my birthday. He made it such a lovely, special, and educational experience. Will definitely come back for a cocktail making class ☺️

My partner and I did the whiskey blending workshop at Archie Rose and absolutely loved it. It was a fun, hands-on experience where we learnt a lot about the distillery’s history and the whiskey-making process. The team was knowledgeable and welcoming, and we got to create our own personalised blend to take home. Would definitely recommend for any whiskey lover or as a thoughtful gifting experience—unique, informative, and a great way to spend a few hours.

Archie Rose Distillery in Sydney offered us such a memorable experience. We tried both the single malt whisky flight and the gin flight, and each one was fantastic so much so that we ended up taking home two bottles of their limited-edition Juniper smoked whisky and one bottle of the Bone Dry Gin. We also ordered the cheese toastie, which was incredibly delicious: perfectly crispy, rich, and full of flavour. The staff were wonderfully welcoming and attentive throughout our visit, which made the evening even better. We had an amazing time at Archie, easily one of our favourite spots in Sydney. We’d love to visit again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for whisky/ gin tasting and a great atmosphere.

My boyfriend and I went to the whisky making class and had a great time learning about the history of Archie Rose and the whisky making processes. We spent some time at the bar afterwards, and the class host, Mattias, provided the PERFECT whisky recommendation (Joadja) suited to my partner's tastes. My boyfriend had never met me prior, nor been to Australia before, and the highlight of the entire 2-week itinerary I planned was meeting his soul whisky. So, thanks for stealing my boyfriend, Mattias.

We recently attended a whisky class at Archie Rose and had a fantastic time. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging—sharing insights into the distillery’s history, offering great whisky recommendations, and walking us through the entire whisky-making process. The experience was excellent value: we received a welcome drink and got to take home two custom 200ml bottles. Just a tip—be mindful of the quantities when crafting your blend, as they can’t provide extra due to legal regulations. We also ordered the charcuterie board, which was fresh and flavorful—a perfect pairing to the experience. Overall, it’s a great way to spend quality time with loved ones, learn something new, and enjoy a unique, well-rounded tasting session.
