Morris Muscat Barrel
Like the Signature Single Malt, Morris Muscat Barrel is made with 100% Australian ingredients beginning with Australian barley. The original copper pot + column still which was installed at Morris Winery in 1941 to make spirit for its fortified wines is also used here. Aged for a minimum of three years in American and French oak ex-Australian wine barrels for its primary maturation, it is then placed into Morris Muscat fortified wine barrels to finish aging.
It launched in the US in September 2022 in CA, TX, IL, NY, MA, GA, CO, FL, NJ, DC and MD with more states to follow shortly afterwards. (SRP $89.99) .

Tasting Notes
"The nose is a fruity mix of blueberry, blood orange, strawberry, and grapefruit zest with a sprinkle of rosemary and cinnamon swathed in vanilla icing. The palate takes on more of that icing sugar quality, along with clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange blossom. The effect is a bit like sipping a non-bubbly, but way more boozy and slightly more spicy, orange muscat wine. "
