Crafted using 100% Australian only ingredients, then finished in award-winning Morris fortified wine barrels producing an extraordinary and unique flavour, typically found in fine aged spirits.
Crafted in Victoria, at their world-famed distillery Morris Whisky is the creation of the Morris Family, recognised and famed for making award-winning fortified wines since 1859, regarded as one the best fortified wine producers in the entire world.
The Morris distillery boasts an impressive history, housing an original 1930's hybrid copper-pot and column still, blending tradition with cutting edge distilling techniques.
What truly sets Morris Whisky apart is their eagerness and commitment to excellence in aging to create a distinct style of Australian single malt whisky. The whiskies use100% premium Australian malted barley, distilled with pure water from the Snowy Mountains, matured in wine barrels sourced from their very own family-owned Barossa and Coonawarra wineries which are prepared to a specific method by the Morris' own private cooperage. Finally, Morris whiskies are skilfully matured in carefully selected award-winning Morris fortified wine barrels.
A team of highly regarded whisky experts united to craft this distinct style of Australian single malt whisky in 2016. Morris enlisted the support of John McDougall, one of the world's most renowned whisky makers, with previous experience with Balvenie, Laphroaig and Springbank, as well as the late Dr Jim Swan, described as the 'Einstein of whisky' for his technical expertise in wood selection and barrel preparation.
Darren Peck (ex-Diageo) is the Morris Head Distiller and has worked under the tutelage of McDougall for the last seven years to craft the whiskies.
