MORRIS Single Malts have unique characteristics that come from a combination of local ingredients and climate. The barrels used for maturation are a combination of French and American oak, ex-red wine barrels sourced from our family-owned wineries in the Barossa and Coonawarra regions of South Australia. They are prepared by hand at our private cooperage to a specific method, which imparts the unique Morris of Rutherglen flavour profile. Before being filled, each red wine barrel is prepared by hand and undergoes shaving, toasting & charring by naked flame. It is this process that creates our unique toasted oak profiles. Combined with the hints of red fruit influence trapped in the wood, flavour development of our whisky is aided by the hot summer days and cold nights of Rutherglen to create a mature and complex whisky.

It is the art and skill of imparting the unique profiles of our own aged, fortified wines into the whisky to create unrivalled and distinct flavours in our Australian Single Malt. MORRIS is the only distillery in the world that uses its own casks for aging and finishing.
