Chris Hemsworth joins Archie Rose Distilling Co. as Co-owner

Actor Chris Hemsworth has become co-owner of Australian distillery Archie Rose Distilling Co. as the company prepares to enter the United States. 

Hemsworth joins the distillery alongside founder Will Edwards. The company is aiming to expand into the US market later this year. 

"I’ve been a fan of Archie Rose for a long time,” says Hemsworth. “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. 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.”

The distillery has also announced it will launch three whiskies co-created with Chris Hemsworth in late 2026. As well as the US expansion, the distillery will also expand into Asia and New Zealand. Further expansion will continue into the EU and UK in 2027.
