Bottling Notes

This first release in Archie Rose’s ‘Trials & Exceptions Series’, Sandigo Heritage Rye Malt Whisky highlights their stance that a great whisky starts its life in the field, not the distillery. It also showcases their continuing journey with Australian rye, supporting and working with local farmers and maltsters to produce uniquely Australian varieties.

Featuring a malted landrace rye sourced from fourth-generation NSW farmers, this grain has grown continuously near Sandigo NSW for over 60 years, adapting to weather including droughts, floods and storms to evolve into its own distinct strain. Sandigo Heritage Rye Malt has been released with no traditional commercial rye malt in the mash bill so whisky lovers can appreciate the individuality, clarity and strength of this grain, supporting the distillery’s view that malt really matters as a key contributor to the final whisky.
