Made from 100 per cent Australian ingredients, and previously part of the Signature Series, White Cane is the newest addition to the Archie Rose Fundamental Spirits range – and is for now, exclusively available to the on-premise.

Designed to encourage rum drinkers to enjoy a higher quality, local version of a much-loved classic white spirit, Archie Rose White Cane is an Australian reimagining of a white rum.

White Cane’s move to the Fundamental Spirits range means the product is available at a more accessible price point while still retaining exceptional spirit quality. In addition, the lighter, easier-to-pour bottle is specially designed for the rail, meaning that there is now a locally produced, extremely competitive white rum-style product perfect for on-premise use.

Archie Rose’s Master Distiller, Dave Withers, said that White Cane continues Sydney’s strong tradition of rum production. “The history of rum production in  Australia runs deep and the city of  Sydney itself is affiliated with countless stories about rum trade, production and celebration. These narratives are part of what has shaped Sydney, and while in Australia, unlike other countries, we’re legally not able to call it a rum unless aged for two years, we’re thrilled to continue the tradition with White Cane, our showcase of an Aussie-made white cane spirit,” he said.

As with the rest of the Fundamental Spirits range, White Cane stays true to Archie Rose’s brand values, featuring local, native and sustainably sourced ingredients.First, high-test NSW molasses is cold distilled using a vacuum still, capturing the delicate flavours of locally sourced sugarcane. This distillation is subsequently blended with sustainably sourced NSW  blackstrap molasses to give depth, power and vigour to the blend. The result is an incredibly versatile spirit that is pillowy soft with a deliciously fresh finish and notes of roasted marshmallow, golden syrup and  pineapple. It’s arrived just in time for the warmer months and is going to be perfect  for classic rum cocktails and mixers.

White Cane joins the rest of the Fundamental Spirits range, consisting of  Straight Dry Gin, True Cut Vodka and Double Malt Whisky. Archie Rose founder, Will Edwards, said that the Fundamental  Spirits range allows more Australians to  experience our country’s craft spirits.

“We know that Australians love drinking Australian spirits, but the artisanal nature of craft distilling means that our products, along with other incredible distillers, are often reserved for the top shelf, with international brands still dominating the market. We wanted to create a range that redefines the traditions of how Australians drink by offering an accessible gin, vodka, whisky and now rum to serve as the base for your favourite drinks any night of the  week,” he said.

Archie Rose White Cane, 700ml, 40 per cent, is now exclusively available for the on-premise via all good wholesalers. Alternatively, get in touch with your local Archie Rose brand ambassador for more details, including any requests for Frank the ‘Cock-a-tail’ mugs.
