The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) and Sydney Showground have announced a new partnership with award-winning Sydney distillery Archie Rose.

The partnership will see Archie Rose as the exclusive supplier of white spirits, including gin, vodka and white rum, for all corporate functions and retail bars operated by the RAS at Sydney Showground, including Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Sydney Showground General Manager Darryl Jeffrey said: “The RAS harbours a deep appreciation for the land and is committed to sustainability-driven practices and it’s important for us that our partners share these same core values.

“Archie Rose has proven to be the perfect fit for us, and we are thrilled to introduce this partnership at our upcoming functions and events.

“We are confident that this collaboration will not only enhance our offerings but also ensure that our patrons receive a product of exceptional quality.”

Archie Rose Distilling Co Head of Hospitality Harriet Leigh said: “As an Australian brand based in Sydney, our team has grown up visiting the Sydney Royal Easter Show and Sydney Showground, and we have a profound respect for their mission, and their work with Australian farming communities.

“At Archie Rose, we also showcase and pay respect to Australia’s raw ingredients and growers at every turn. We believe in spirits beginning their life in the field, and we work with farming families that support their local community and growers that have a genuine connection to the grain they are producing.”

Archie Rose will bring its Tailored Spirits Live pop-up to this year’s Sydney Royal Easter Show, offering visitors a unique and interactive experience where they can personalise their very own Australian gin or whisky on the spot.

Visitors can choose from two different gin or whisky liquid blends and then have the option to design their own personalised label, tailoring the background colour, name and message on the back.

Tailored Spirits Live will also feature the Signature Range and various Limited-Edition Archie Rose products available to taste and purchase.

The initial offering at RAS Bars and Venues will be the Archie Rose Fundamental Spirits range, including True Cut Vodka, Straight Dry Gin and White Cane Spirit. A 4% premix vodka & gin can range will also be included.

Patrons can look forward to tasting the Fundamentals range during upcoming events including Green Day – The Saviors Tour, the 2025 AFL season and the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
