As the eleventh release in the Trials & Exceptions series and the second in a two-part exploration that pays tribute to Australia’s majestic eucalypt trees, our limited release Stringybark Smoked Single Malt Whisky represents a milestone in both its history and quest to source all seven malts from within NSW.

Following the release of the Red Gum Smoked Single Malt Whisky in early 2022, as the first exploratory trial, the Stringybark Smoked Single Malt Whisky marks the second phase and a benchmark for subsequent Archie Rose smoked whiskies. Born from a long-held commitment to craft a quintessential smoked whisky, this limited release is Australian in both technique and flavour. Fulfilling a goal to replace Scottish peated malt with Australian wood smoked malt, the Stringybark Smoked Single Malt Whisky also speaks to the sustainability benefits of utilising local native wood and is crafted from a five-malt mash bill, including a local malt that has been roasted or smoked with wood from the native stringybark tree, making it one of only a few Australian wood-smoked malts ever made or released.

With only 2,450 bottles in existence, Stringybark Smoked Single Malt Whisky offers a unique flavour profile that features heady flavours reminiscent of campfire smoke, smoked meats, marzipan, amaretto and scotch finger biscuits.
