Over six generations of craftsmanship in winemaking, blending and aging passed down through bloodlines has allowed Morris of Rutherglen to truly master the creation of extraordinary flavour in our Australian Single Malt Whisky.
At Morris we have been making world renowned fortified wines since 1859, a tradition that still carries on today led by head wine maker David Morris. For many years a spirits still originally used to make fortified wines laid dormant at the heart of our Rutherglen winery. In 2016, we decided to bring her back to life and started to experiment and research with spirit making, using local grain, water and aging the whisky in barrels sourced from the family winery.
Tasting Notes: Carefully produced with the experienced whisky drinker in mind, this Signature Cellar Reserve expression has been selected by the Head Distiller and bottled at 44%ABV exclusively for the MORRIS Cellar Door. It shows added depth and character with the same bright topaz hues on appearance which open a door to orchard fruit profiles, macerated black cherry and biscuit notes balancing the zest of marmalade jam, lingering cocoa and dark-berry flavours.
