Sydney’s Archie Rose Distilling Company has launched an entirely new range of spirits that aims to offer a more accessible alternative to the mainstream brands that dominate the Australian market.

Head distiller Dave Withers returns to the Drinks Adventures podcast to tell us about the new Fundamental Spirits offering.

It includes True Cut Vodka, Straight Dry Gin and Double Malt Whisky. They’re designed to be a spirits base for your favourite mixed drinks, and they’re priced at between $55 and $85 each for a 700ml bottle.

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that this is pretty sharp pricing for Aussie spirits.

This is a special episode of Drinks Adventures, produced in partnership with Archie Rose.

First up, Dave explains what inspired the company’s ambitious move to take on the imported products that still account for more than 90 per cent of these spirit categories in Australia.
