Archie Rose Fundamental Spirits Double Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)

Fundamental Spirits is a new range of 100% Australian vodka, gin and whisky created as an easy foundation for your favourite drinks. A new addition for 2023 is Double Malt Whisky, featuring a solera of Archie Rose Single Malt and Rye Malt made from copper pot distilled NSW heritage rye and barley malts. Maturation takes place in ex-apera (sherry), bourbon and virgin oak casks. On the nose, gobstopper is followed by toasted muesli and hints of cocoa in a straightforward aroma that recalls young Bourbon. The fullness of the delivery defies the entry-level ABV - and the price tag. There are no rough edges, just attractive fruit-chocolate and hazelnut flavours, as rounded as they are relaxed, while a light oiliness adds texture (possibly a contribution from the rye). A whisky that lends itself to experimentation. 40% Alc/Vol
