Established in 1859 Morris of Rutherglen is Australia’s most awarded winery and one of the world’s finest producers of fortified wines. The family malts and brews locally-sourced barley for this whisky using Snowy Mountains water and at the heart of the distillery is the original copper pot still named “Aurora,” built in the 1930s. The whiskies commence their ageing in a combination of American and French oak ex shiraz (Barossa) and cabernet (Coonawarra) barrels from the family wineries. Morris Whisky has unparalleled access to Australia’s finest fortified wine casks for finishing the ageing
process for these outstanding Australian whiskies.

Morris Smoke Muscat – Limited Edition
Adding to the line-up of award winning MORRIS Australian single malt whiskies, this limited release Smoked Muscat expression brings together three unique elements; Single Malt Whisky, award-winning fortified Muscat barrels, and heavily-charred oak, to create a whisky with unrivalled complexity and unique depth of character.

The resulting whisky is the perfect marriage of drybiscuit maltiness, rich luscious raisin fruits, soft wood-aged characters and a lingering subtle smokiness.
