The inaugural batch of Morris Port Barrel was an exclusive collaboration with our good friends at The Whisky Club, the world’s biggest community of whisky lovers. Described as a ‘chewy and decadent feast of plump stone fruits and nutty caramel’, the whisky sold out in no time, so was clearly a fan favourite.
Owing that the first released scored DOUBLE GOLD as San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2024, this second small batch release of Morris Port Barrel has some big shoes to fill. This time around maturation took place in ex Barossa shiraz barrels, predominantly American Oak. The barrels were hand selected by the distillery team for their ability to influence the whisky with heightened flavours of red fruit and sweet spice, and each barrel was charred to varying levels to create layers of toasted complexity. Upon maturation the whisky underwent extended finishing in Morris family aged Tawny casks to amplify the vibrant port flavours.
TASTING NOTES
Our prize-winning aged Tawny port casks impart complexity and decadent layers of plump stone fruits, ripe red berry and rich chocolate flavours.
COLOUR: Tawny and chestnut with ruby hues.
NOSE: Notes of glace cherry, chocolate coated cinnamon rolls and hints of desiccated coconut.
PALATE: Bright dark red fruit flavours ascend through the middle palate exposing milk chocolate, raspberry sweets, followed by blueberry mingling with dabs of liquorice.

Morris Whisky Sherry Barrel 46% 700mL
TASTING NOTES
Bottled at 46% ABV, MORRIS Sherry Barrel is a mature style single malt whisky that highlights the perfect balance of oak, malt and sherry barrel influence.
Maturated in a combination of French and American oak ex-Australian red wine casks and finished in barrels that have held our Morris of Rutherglen 10yr-Aged Amber Apera (Sherry).
The Aged Amber is a full flor fino, produced predominantly from the Palomino grape. It exhibits a drier style, showing elegance and complexity from years of long-term aging in cask, making it a beautiful compliment to the whisky.
The result is a well integrated and very approachable Australian single malt which the broad whisky consumer can embrace.
COLOUR: Tiger-eye gemstone with copper highlights.
NOSE: Spun toffee, baked fruit flan with peach compote and fresh sherry cask notes.
PALATE: It has a unique Rutherglen character of being produced from all Australian ingredients and finished in casks which have held Morris of Rutherglen award-winning Apera. Producing a well-structured whisky with subtle spice, toasted nut and clean oak characters.
FINISH: Delicious, candied lemon with gentle sage and marjoram herbal profile.
