A podcast for lovers of wine, beer, liquor (incl. whisky, whiskey, bourbon, vodka tequila etc) and cocktails, Drinks Adventures hosts wine makers, brewing and distilling experts, sommeliers, bartenders & more.
World Martini Day is celebrated every year on the third Saturday in June. That’s today, Saturday June 18, if you’re listening to this episode in real time.
And with us to talk martinis is Archie Rose master distiller Dave Withers, who you previously met in season 3 of Drinks Adventures.
This particular episode was produced with the support of Archie Rose, or more specifically Archie Rose Bone Dry Gin.
Bone Dry was the first gin produced by Archie Rose using the copper vacuum stills at its new Banksmeadow production site, opened in 2021.
Coming up today, Dave will explain why it’s the perfect gin for a martini, which he says is an important cocktail for the team at Archie Rose.
You can buy Bone Dry Gin direct from the company at archierose.com.au, and retailers like Dan Murphy’s, First Choice and good independent bottleshops, too.
