Morris Australian Single Malt Whisky Muscat Barrel

Description

The whisky in question showcases a mouthfeel that is luxuriously creamy, enveloping the palate with an array of opulent dark fruit notes and the sweetness of malted barley. This experience gradually transitions into a realm of sweet vanilla and cocoa, punctuated by the warming presence of cinnamon spice.

Its journey to achieving this exceptional flavor profile begins with its initial maturation period in a combination of French and American oak casks, formerly used to age wine. However, the whisky's evolution doesn't conclude there. It embarks on a second phase of maturation, spending an extended duration in ex-fortified Muscat barrels sourced from the esteemed Morris winery, known for its numerous accolades in the fortified wine category.

This distinctive dual maturation process imparts a complex tapestry of flavors to the whisky. It intertwines the influence of the fortified wine casks seamlessly with the rich malt character and the delicate interplay of aromatic spices. The end result is a whisky that offers a truly remarkable tasting experience, characterized by its sumptuous fruity notes, underlying sweetness, and a tantalizing hint of aromatic spice. This makes it an excellent choice for those who appreciate the finer nuances of whisky.
