Another new world whisky to Cheese & Cheers is Archie Rose's Rye Malt Whisky. Their preference for malted rye over the far more commonly used unmalted rye affords this whisky a point of distinction evident upon the very first sip. A layered, aromatic spirit it offers notes of spiced custard, ginger, stone fruit and baked apple pie with a fresh herbal finish that lingers on the palate.

The Rye Whisky along with all our newly launched world whiskies are available for a special World Whisky Tasting Flight all May long for $25.

Open every day from 10am to 5pm, Cheese & Cheers is located at the Vines Village on 193 Rapaura Road.

New to Cheese & Cheers is the Archie Rose Single Malt Whisky. This Single Malt Whisky is crafted to highlight six malts, as opposed to the traditional one or two, providing a richer and more expressive flavour, full of distinct regional character. Matured predominantly in toasted and charred Australian apera casks, ex-bourbon and their own 36-month air-dried ex-rye casks this whisky reveals fresh herbs, shortbread biscuits, raisins, toffee and dark chocolate on the nose with a luscious palate of sticky date pudding, amaretto and espresso.
