Chris Hemsworth new co-owner at Archie Rose

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has come on board as co-owner at independent Australian distillery Archie Rose Distilling Co.

He joins founder Will Edwards as the award-winning whisky and spirits company prepares to enter the United States for the first time, introducing its award-winning whiskies later this year.

Hemsworth say he is a long-time admirer of the brand and shares Archie Rose’s belief in the quality of Australian ingredients, craftsmanship and the potential of the country’s spirits industry.

“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,” says Hemsworth.

Actor Chris Hemsworth has joined Archie Rose Distilling Co. as co-owner.

“Their ethos of only using Australian-grown malts to produce flavour packed whiskies at their Sydney distillery is truly awesome. They’re a brilliant example of what Australia does best and I can’t wait to share that with the world.”

In addition to its U.S. entry, Archie Rose says it will expand its international presence later this year with three whiskies co-created with Hemsworth launching across markets in Asia and New Zealand. The rollout will continue into the EU and UK in 2027.

Founded in Sydney in 2014, Archie Rose has built an international reputation for its distinctively Australian approach to whisky and spirits. It is distributed in New Zealand by Hancocks Family Merchants.
