SKU: SPMORSHEBWHI
Bottled at 46% ABV, Morris Sherry Barrel is a mature style single malt whisky that highlights the perfect balance of oak, malt and sherry barrel influence. Maturated in a combination of French and American oak ex-Australian red wine casks and finished in barrels that have held our Morris of Rutherglen 10yr-Aged Amber Apera (Sherry). The Aged Amber is a full flor fino, produced predominantly from the Palomino grape. It exhibits a drier style, showing elegance and complexity from years of long-term aging in cask, making it a beautiful compliment to the whisky. The result is a well integrated and very approachable Australian single malt which the broad whisky consumer can embrace.

”At 46% ABV and under $150, this whisky is aimed squarely at knocking classic sherried single malt Scotch whiskies like Macallan and Glenfarclas off their perch, and if that's the style of whisky you like, I urge you to give this one a go. Unlike many Scotch whiskies these days, which are 'finished' for a few months in sherry casks after spending most of their maturation in ex-bourbon, this whisky spends its entire gestation in genuine Morris apera casks. The result is a whisky bursting with old-fashioned pulled candy sweetness and buckets of vanilla, big, bright, and fresh like a freshly opened bottle of Mountain Dew. There are not nearly as many dark red fruits and oak as comparable Scotches, but instead, they are bright and candied. Complex and cerebral? No. But heaps of fun, really well integrated and pretty bloody tasty.”
