Whether you like it986 Archivesnot, Australians can't seem to get enough of Vegemite, the yeast extract spread of dreams. They eat it in popsicles, in chocolate bars, and now, they're practically drinking it.
Sydney-based gin distiller Archie Rose has created what they've called a "hot buttered toast spirit" that channels the flavour of Vegemite-like spreads on toast — an oft-consumed breakfast of Australians.
SEE ALSO: For a delicious spread, Vegemite makes a pretty gross beerIt's called Archie-Mite, set for release on May 8, and has been distilled with a handful of unnamed yeast-extract spreads (similar to Marmite, which is more popular in the UK). Vegemite isn't one of the "mites" in the spirit, but let's be honest, they all taste similar.
The spirit, which isn't quite defined as gin or vodka or the like, is a bit of an experiment, distilled with 25 kilograms of churned butter from Sydney producer Pepe Saya, and 15 kilograms of sourdough from local bakers Sonoma. Yep, genuine toast ingredients.

The Archie Rose team are well aware the spirit will be divisive, accepting that rich, umami flavours are often not everyone's cup of tea.
"It’s lots of fun," Archie Rose master distiller Dave Withers said in a press statement. “It sits in this weird but interesting place. Trying to describe how it tastes is like trying to describe the colour blue. If you like that savoury flavour of yeast-extract spreads, you’ll really enjoy it."
Archie-Mite will be released in Australia on May 8 as a limited-edition run of only 3000 bottles at $55 (A$79) each from at the Archie Rose Bar in Rosebery, Sydney and online.
The team has even created special cocktails using the spirit, and there's a whole host of tasting events happening if you're in Sydney for the launch date.
