"“We’re trying to create a definition of what an Australian whisky can be. We have local grain, local barley, local water and, most importantly, these barrels.”

And that’s a key here — the distillery has access to a near-endless range (in style and age) of fortified wine barrels. So even though the whisky itself is young — it’s under four years for the Signature release — the climate, local ingredients and the unique casks allow Morris to create something that’s very Australian but also unique in the whisky world."
