Morris Single Malt Muscat Barrels, 48%

Price: 90 Issue: Spring 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Australian Whisky

Aromas of raisins soaked in sweet syrup, hazelnut, peppercorn, plum, and preserved strawberries, a result of a secondary maturation in their own muscat barrels after initial maturation in French and American oak wine barrels also from Morris of Rutherglen wineries. Syrupy in the mouth, with dark sugars, prune, raisin, cough syrup, and nippy clove, the flavors remain resolutely bold to the end, adding molasses, dried fig, and stewed fruit to finish.
