Whisky lovers are in for a treat as Archer’s Restaurant in the Melbourne Marriott Hotel Docklands prepares to host its highly anticipated whisky dinner series.
Building on the success of its sold-out event in May, Archer’s is back, all set to cater to Melbourne’s loyal whisky community.
A Toast to Victorian Distilleries
The Archer’s whisky dinner series is a journey through the world of whisky, showcasing the offerings of some of Victoria’s finest distilleries. The event series brings together four independent distilleries – Corowa Distilling Co., Morris Whisky, Timboon Distillery, and Chief’s Son Distillery – under the award-winning design of Archer’s restaurant.
Each exclusive dinner features a unique, one-time menu crafted by Executive Chef Ryan Flaherty. With his experience at renowned establishments like The Fat Duck and Stokehouse, Flaherty designs a menu that pairs perfectly with the whisky offerings, playing on the senses and introducing guests to an array of whisky notes.
An Evening at Archer’s: More Than Just A Meal
Archer’s, along with Ada’s, the Marriott Dockland’s lobby bar, hosts a remarkable collection of whisky from over 30 local distilleries. Their nightly whisky cart ritual, offering premium pours from a range of distilleries, has one of the largest local whisky collections in the state. This ritual has earned them a special place in the hearts of local whisky enthusiasts.
Christian Schomann, the General Manager of Melbourne Marriott Hotel Docklands, says, “Our team takes great joy in sharing their passion for local Victorian distilleries and showcasing the whiskies that make our region so special.”
