Perfect for celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a fun day out, Archie Rose offers a range of experiences to suit every taste.
Blend Your Own Whisky Masterclass
One of Archie Rose’s immersive blending experiences, the Blend Your Own Whisky Masterclass takes guests through the traditions of whisky production in their original distillery space. Start the class the right way with a special welcome drink, which you can sip as you learn about the distillery’s one-of-a-kind individual malt stream process, which shapes each whisky blend.
Learn to nose, taste and work with a selection of Archie Rose single malt components, exploring how to balance flavour, aroma and structure to suit your palate. With this knowledge, you’ll then craft your very own signature whisky based on your desired flavours, whether bold and smoky, fruit-driven and bright, or rich and malty styles.
Once you’ve crafted your own whisky creation, you’ll hand-bottle and label two 200ml whiskies to take home to enjoy (and maybe share with others, if you’re feeling generous). Whether you’re a devoted whisky enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this class is a fantastic chance to expand your knowledge and savour expertly blended whiskies.
