Archie Rose Distilling Co.

Archie Rose Distilling Co. sits on Mentmore Avenue in Rosebery, in Sydney's inner south. One of the country's most celebrated craft distilleries — renowned for its gin, whisky, vodka and more — it's become a genuine destination, with a stylish bar and cellar door where you can taste and enjoy the spirits right where they're made.

The appeal is that combination of acclaimed, craft-distilled spirits, expertly made cocktails and a polished, atmospheric setting, ideal for a tasting, a cocktail, a distillery experience or settling in for the evening. Its reputation for quality and innovation stretches well beyond Sydney, making it a must for spirits lovers.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. The spirits range, tastings, any tours and distilling experiences, the cocktail menu, opening hours and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly if you'd like to do a tour or experience — though for a cocktail and a taste of acclaimed local spirits at the source, it's often just a matter of dropping in.
