Tasting notes

Appearance

Rich copper.

Nose

Subtle intensity of rich dried orchard fruits, buttered malted caramel and caramelised pecans.

The liveliness of fresh fruit, combined with rich flavours of white chocolate crème brûlée and a touch of toasted spice.

Finish

Sumptuous and indulgent, the long finish of vibrant grape flavours gives way to a sweet nest of malted honey.

Morris Tokay Barrel can only be described as a truly exquisite and unique representation of the highest quality Australian single malt whisky. Made from local Australian ingredients and aged predominantly in red wine French oak casks at our regional distillery in Rutherglen, Victoria, this unique whisky draws incredible flavour from our own casks of the family's prized fortified wines. Finished in barrels that have contained our award-winning 15 year old Morris Cellar Reserve Grand Topaque (Tokay), the result is a luxurious, mature whisky that displays the sumptuous elegance of creamy malt, fresh fruit, butterscotch notes and vibrant grape flavours. Upon its release, Morris Tokay Barrel won a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits competition in 2022 as well as the title of Master at the Spirits Business Luxury Masters, all in the same year. In 2023, it won a platinum medal at the SIP Awards in the United States and a gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge in 2023.

Morris Distillery

Founded in 1859, the Morris family winery produces some of the world's most renowned varietal wines. Now they are starting a new chapter with MORRIS whisky. The distillery is located in Rutherglen, Victoria, at the end of a long driveway lined with vineyards. Rutherglen is named after a town just outside Glasgow, Scotland, the home of whisky. The climate of the area lends itself to whisky production due to the warm summer days and cool nights. These conditions are perfect for ageing and help to create the unique and distinctive taste of MORRIS whisky. MORRIS whisky is made to reflect a sense of place and region.
