\u201cHaving Chris join the business as a co-owner allows us to bring that ambition to the world.<\/p>\n
We aren\u2019t just making spirits; we are using Australia\u2019s raw materials and ingenuity as the base for producing the world\u2019s best whisky, gin and other spirits, telling the stories of the growers and the land beneath them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Archie Rose is an Australian-owned business operated out of their Rosebery distillery.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s commercial headquarters, best known as The Cannery at 61 Mentmore Ave, is a heritage-listed commercial and lifestyle precinct in Sydney\u2019s inner city.<\/p>\n
Occupying an area of 120-257 sqm of office space, the property was described on realcommercial.com.au as: \u201cHigh ceilings, exposed services and polished timber floors across an open plan layout offers an exceptional prospect for businesses seeking a character space with a point of difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Marvel star said he was excited to join Archie Rose family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of Archie Rose for a long time. Wherever I am in the world, tasting an Archie Rose whisky immediately transports me right back home, to that feeling of sitting around a campfire in the Australian bush with my mates,\u201d the star said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir ethos of only using Australian grown malts to produce flavour packed whiskies at their Sydney distillery is truly awesome. They\u2019re a brilliant example of what Australia does best, and I can\u2019t wait to share that with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is unknown how much Hemsworth paid for his stake in the company but he is expected to be heavily involved in the brand\u2019s US launch as well as the creation of three new whiskeys for distribution across New Zealand and Asia.<\/p>\n
Further expansion into European markets is expected in 2027.<\/p>\n
Archie Rose has received more than 450 global awards, including World\u2019s Best Rye Whisky, Australia\u2019s Best Single Malt Whisky and World\u2019s Best Gin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Hemsworth is the new co-owner of Archie Rose.
