MORRIS SMOKED MUSCAT BARREL AUSTRALIAN SINGLE MALT WHISKY 700ML (LIMITED)

48.3% Alcohol

TASTING NOTES
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.

Born from a collaboration between our Head Distiller and Head Cooper, they pushed the boundaries of experimenting with the barrel-charring process. The resulting Morris (Limited) Smoked Muscat Barrel Australian Single Malt Whisky is the perfect marriage of dry-biscuit maltiness, rich luscious raisin fruits, soft wood-aged characters and a lingering subtle smokiness.

COLOUR: Honey hues with polished jarrah heart.
NOSE: A combination of clean white smoke mingling with raisin fruits and blackberry jam initially. The smoke dissipates to release the rich and complex Morris Muscat characters.
PALATE: Hints of charred pineapple with a light dusting of smoked paprika. Dark sugars appear without any cloying character, followed by the elegant acidity of crisp apple which evolves leaving a dry finish on the palate.
FINISH: The flavours shift gear on the palate leaving you feeling like you’ve just experienced chili infused dark chocolate, dipped in subtle smoked apple jam.

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 their outstanding Australian whiskies.
